Man if only the car color was black and that gay chrome piece that holds the top down were black...all in all I don't think it looks as bad as you'd think it would!

Not as unique as you may think. We sell many like that. S-Type, X-Type, XJ. They call them the "Palm Beach Edition". Freakin ugly if you ask me, but some love them.

Yeah I hate them but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would on our small x-types!

Those fake convertible tops look goofy on a 4-door sedan, and especially with a glass sunroof.

Is that not a real convertible? I can't remember where exactly but all the way back in 2002 I had seen a legitimate X-Type convertible so they must had at least considered building them at one point.

I kinda like the wheels but a bit too many spokes IMO.

Unless it's full armored it's not a real unique car [8D]

I don't think it looked bad. Price is steep, but the mileage is like WOW!

Looks like a Volvo C70 photoshopped....lol
Talking of armoured......I had one belonging to someone who shall remain nameless.....came into the shop for an audio concern. XJ I mean...not X. Was pretty cool.....a little slugish though.

No, from outside it looked normal pretty much. Average person would not notice little differences.
Underneath is huge difference. Not gonna say much about it as people get those for a reason. But man, if I was driving through Bahgdad, I would take that over the hummer....LOL
And to answer your PM... I will never tell. Was part of the deal. All I can say is she was famous. Very hot, and I got a hug and a kiss on the cheek for my efforts.
