Possibly. It's off a Jag soverign.

Interesting. In 40+ years of motoring I can only remember two punctures - one on an old Magnette, which simply wore through the various layers of canvas, the other in a DB4 - cause unknown. That is until I bought a Sovereign (Series 3) in about 1985, and ran it for 150k miles. During that time I had seven punctures.

Since selling it I have not had a puncture since. Causes me to think.

I'd forgotten XJ40s used TRXs too. I was thinking CX Turbo.

TRXs tended to use even-number mm tread widths - just another of those little foibles...
