I’ve only ever seen one 08 in prism blue. Is it super rare?

 

I didn't find any Blue Prism in this forum, though there's a few Indigo which are great.
Google "Jaguar Blue Prism" throws up mainly XK's, and I think it looks great. But then any paint held together by an X350/X358 looks great.



Blue Prism

P.S. Unless you're buying, you have to state your color and take the heat! I just made this rule up.

 

thanks for the reply.
Do you know production numbers and how many of each colour they were made in?
im a huge xj fan and have quite a few.
my daily driver is a black xjr

 

In following this forum for some years, it's hard enough to get production numbers by type or market. Production by color is simply unavailable as far as I know.
The other thing is that we aren't buying new, so color choice has to be juggled with condition etc. I'm not saying I disagree with my own Winter Gold, I'm just saying I dream of some of the other ones. Or Super V8.
I forced myself to say "color" vs "colour", I'm actually in a British "Colony" lol. Have some sympathy for also requiring RHD, whereas most of them were probably exported to LHD countries. Mine's imported from Japan, coz they are clever enough to have RHD.

 

"im a huge xj fan and have quite a few."

This begs the questions:
How many? Which ones? (way down the list) What Colors?

This is the main problem buying expensive luxury cars that aren't mainstream. My Saab dealer in indy refused to order a specific light green color for a 93 convertible bc I wanted a manual as well. I had to settle for red. Dealers don't want to be stuck with a car with weird options that they will lose thousands on to get rid of for only a $500 deposit. Since I was leasing I didn't want to leave more money down and uncertainty of residuals etc changed my mind.

When my dad bought his Mercedes E350. He placed 10% as deposit for the dealer to special order it. Unless you are paying cash; rare colors and options are impossible for small volume brands

It looks great in Blue, but then II do like blue generally. Tan/cream interior too, I am not enthusiastic with black interiors.

Hi Philippe,
I think that might be Indigo.
Prism blue looks very much like the old Cobalt Blue.
My 1984 XJ12 Jaguar Vanden Plas H.E. is Cobalt Blue with Magnolia interior.

Cobalt Blue - like Prism Blue?

 

Thank you Pete
