1975 Jaguar XJ Coupe 6.0 V12

The bottom purple is a nice colour away from the camera as are both greens. The darker blue is best of the blue but I don’t like the grain. I laid them out on a black leather laptop bag I have and they all contrast quite well.

Yeah I was gonna edge the over mats in whatever colour is chosen. I should have the car back in a couple of weeks for the summer drive around which will give me time to asses how the colours might work and see the samples in the car and stuff.

Put it on the back burner to renovate a house after an unanticipated move. I intend to get it on the road some point soon and drive it round for a bit and then do a full interior retrim when funds allow next year.

Bespoke wheels are pretty much ready painted in Obsisian Black to match the car



Debating whether to paint the front of the diamond cut nut black where the Jag badge sits. Opinions please

Craig, what width and offset are your wheels ? (I have looked back through threads and can't find). Is there plenty of space between back of wheel and inner arch wall

I have AM back axle on mine from a 2001 DB7 Vantage v12. Restorer suggests 18", 8J with ET33 offset, but as he has no wheels to go over the AM hubs and discs to try, he can't seem to confirm that tyre won't illegally protrude beyond the flare and won't foul inner wall. I have had my arches enlarged and flare is slightly greater.

Have you finished your car yet ?

They are 8.5 on the front and 9 on the rears wearing 225 on the front and 245 on the rear

Car is in storage at the moment I bought a house and just like a car started a renovation and surprise surprise it starts swallowing money

I remembered this XJ and thought I'd ask, any updates?

It’s in storage awaiting a new interior. Various things took over the time and money in life including a new house renovation that ended up being a back to brick full restoration. Coming to an end some and then I’ll unlock the car.
