Here's some pics of my new XJR (sellers pics from eBay)















June 2004 model, right hand drive from the UK, 93'000 miles
Very well spec'd; Cranberry Leather, Sunroof, 12-speaker Audiophile Sound, Nav, Voice, GSM Phone, CD-changer (not working yet), tape deck!, rear blind which works, heated front screen.

The 20" Sepangs need re-furbishing, and one of them is bent, needs new tyres, a few other small details.

Drove it back from London to Switzerland on Friday night.



1200kms / 700 miles. Not as easy as it looks!

My Mark 2 had a red interior, but on these it was all red except for the headlining and the wood ! My 1980 XJ6 was similar, except I think it was a duller red called "Russet Red". Red interiors were once very common on Jaguars; funny how fashions change. Black cars were not liked much either.

OK so a few updates since the last pics, have a guess try & spot the difference;







Tired of guessing?

- Swiss plates
- Car has been lowered
- Trunk finisher changed from black to chrome
- Side refelectors in the bumper blades are chrome
- XJR badge gone

Congratulations on the purchase.

I think you can add bluetooth to that...
