Recently purchased , very nearly went for a later 5ltr XKR but in the end was swayed by this ! Was very much drawn to the fact it is a rare beasty,1 of 50 rhd cars,and has a fair few differences to a 'standard' car.
I love the way it looks and it goes pretty well also.
Cracking history with the car and been very well looked after, i am however a fussy old bugger so the wheels are due a refurb to bring back to scratch.
First thoughts are very much 'i bought the right car' !

As an early P/header once said " available in any colour so long as its black " !
But, yes,although a so and so to keep clean ,when it is it looks fantastic.

Only engine 'mod' was lifting the limiter to 174mph...was the fastest Jag built
(save the Xj220) changes to suspension, steering, massive brakes, body kit, 20" Vortex wheels, fully loaded spec at the time, i reckon it will be (is ?) a future classic. Was built as a sort of 'skunk works' project and lots of the bits went onto future Jags. Me like it a lot !
