You can easily find out the production date of your car. Locate the plate/sticker where your paint/trim codes are printed on (right hand side of engine bay(XJ from '83) or bottom of left-hand b-post (XJ40)). Right beside the trim code two letters are stamped, either on not labelled 'date of manufacture'. To decode them, use the following table:
Jan A 1983 X
Feb B 1984 Y
Mar C 1985 Z
Apr D 1986 A
May E 1987 B
Jun F 1988 C
Jul G 1989 D
Aug H 1990 E
Sep J 1991 F
Oct K 1992 G
Nov L 1993 H
Dec M 1994 J
Example: If your sticker shows the code HZ, then it was produced in August 1985.
