Teh Spotted Thread
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
But the original was, according to Wikipedia, a 2009 model car made in 2008 and had different front bumper and alloys to that one. Being a 2007 I assume it's just an early normal XKR with the front bumper and alloys changed. And possibly bonnet.Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Mon Jun 23, 2025 2:33 pm No, there were two generations of XKR-S. 4.2L (which, further reading tells me was SVO built and capped to 200 units) and the 5.0L which came around in 2011/12 (uncapped production).

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Though this one is also coming up as an “XKR”…

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
All I can say is that the owner had a laminated bit of A4 in the windscreen proclaiming it thus. I would imagine the Jag owners club would police this aggressively.
That said, I don't think the vents at the top of the front bumper were there on the early XKR-S.

What’s the plural of Lotus, Lotus’s, Loti?
I think I’ve seen every variation of every model travelling through Hope today. It must have taken a good half an hour for them all to pass

The Rolls Royce of Alan Sugar. No idea if he was in it, just recognised the reg.
How about not having a sig at all?
