Body Structure

All repairs, whether structural or cosmetic, must ensure the continuance of the Paint Surface and Corrosion warranty, where applicable.

Following repair or rectification, the vehicle must be returned to the original manufactured condition with regard to occupant safety, dimensional accuracy, finish and corrosion protection.

Similarly, repaired vehicles must be fully checked, and where appropriate reset, with regard to steering, suspension, restraint and braking systems.

The Jaguar sedan range (with standard wheelbase) has a unit construction monocoque body structure with bolt-on front fenders and welded rear fenders. The doors feature 'lift-off' hinges and welded drop-glass frames.
