Where did you get this? is it the drilled into the hood or is it the double sided tape one?

Leaper hood ornaments are available on Ebay. Installation requires drilling a hole in the hood.

IMHO, the Leaper is overkill with the Growler emblem in the grille.

I like it and been considering it for my XK convertible.

Love the Cat!

There are precise directions about where the Cat is fitted, requires a hole in the bonnet and another in the under structure. Jaguar has two dies that cut the holes so the edges are smooth. I always hated drilling into a beautiful painted surface.
Long ago I had a customer with a Series III who wired his cat to the battery, drilled out the eyes and put Red bulbs in the eye sockets. Imagine pulling up next to him at a stoplight and seeing the glow from the eyes.
