By JRG do you mean Brittish Racing Green? If so, get some pics up man, that's one of the most beautiful colors.

No, I think he means Jaugar Racing Green...I perfer to call it British Racing Green myself also..But for some reason, maybe it's a US model thing..but it's called Jaguar Racing green..

Having had S-types in both BRG and JRG, I can attest there is a significant difference; also am old enough to have seen the race cars in BRG. BRG is darker with little or no metallic; JRG is lighter, more like emerald, with lots of metallic. Not surprisingly, the last few Jaguar race cars were in JRG!

That is def Jag Racing Green. Nice colour. BRG to me is a little dull on the new cars, but I love it on oldies. E-Type era.
Emerald is my favorite. Very bright. The XJR looks sweet in that colour. XF looks best in Porcelin or Radiance.

Nice car Conipc

Thanks! The JRG is right between emerald and BRG. One thing I like about it is the difference in different light. This pic, while in sunlight, is much darker than the car often looks.

BTW, car is lowered with Mina springs and has rear Mina exhaust and some audio upgrades....
