Default Got a Jag

Just got a 2006 Silver 4.2 convertible (cabriolet?) XK8 with 102k miles. Got it for my daughter. We have lots of cars (07 Mustang GT/CS, 04 350Z, 99 Porsche 996 C4, 17 Focus ST) but she doesn't want to drive a stick, and I refuse to let her drive the Suburban. I don't even remember how I came across this car and I wasn't especially looking for a Jaguar, but I certainly like it a lot.

It seems like it fits the description of one of the carbon fiber specials, but it's titled as an 06 model, so maybe it's a Victory. There's no special designation in the owner's manual. I think I'd prefer the 3 gauges over the Nav system, but when it's off there's a nice big analog clockface.
