Wanted gold from the get go but found the black one first with 4,000 miles and could not pass on that find. Found the gold one last summer with only 10K on it and had to have it. Now I can't bring myself to sell the black one. Go figure.

Thanks. We had fun coming up with over 70 ideas. Couldn't believe that someone already had "1BADCAT" and "BADKITY."

Hi All,

I think all of the 2009 Portfolio owners are copied on this thread, so this might be the best place to make this request. I recently became a Portfolio owner back in October of 2019. My car did not come with the original window sticker. I am trying to re-create the the sticker for my car. Is anyone able to make a copy or take a picture of there original window sticker for a Portfolio edition car and send it to me?

Picture for attention.

Thanks for all your help!


Mike

Try contacting Luke2004xjr
He made copies for my 04, & 07 for me, enclosed in plastic
He asked only for me to pay his expenses to make, & to ship.

Does anyone know if only the Champagne Portfolio cars came with the Ivory interior? I've seen European Portfolios with the light interior on the Celestial black/blue cars, but never seen that States-side. I've only seen the blue interior and I really would like to find a Celestial car with the light interior.

Can anyone answer this question??

Yes I've seen the ones online. One is an accident victim and the other I saw photos of and had reservations about it.

If anyone knows of any others or can answer my questions in posting #110 above, please respond. Thanks

You're welcome. If you want the champagne interior (would be sweet), this one won't interest you either: https://daytona.craigslist.org/cto/d...111086078.html
The mileage is crazy.

This one is silver /charcoal - 30K miles / $16,300 listed three days ago, but NO photos, in Mobile, AL : https://mobile.craigslist.org/ctd/d/...124518147.html

The first one has over 200,000 miles and is an '06 model- I'm looking for '09 version which is the revision body. The second one is an XF, not an XJ. Thank you though for your response.

Still looking for a nice '09 Portfolio/Super V8/ XJR

Thanks

My bad, MoeD....2009...got it. Like you, I would like (another)Jaguar ...and an '09 Portfolio would be a dream.
Not to go off on a tangent or discussion, as it appears many times in this forum, but personally, the newer products do not
seem to stop me in my tracks. My wife feels the same....but I'm sure a newer Portfolio is far easier to find and afford than
a low-mileage '09 Portfolio. You're welcome...may stumble on one of these for us, too...but wasn't thinking of spending $30K!

Mine is exactly the same as yours but with 38K miles. Took me two years to find one with low mileage but I persevered! I paid $38,000.

It's my understanding only 72 of these were made in Celestial and all have the blue interior. I would suspect that if you do find one here in the US it was a custom order.
There are so few of them it would interesting to locate them all.

I don't know about the gold ones.

There were 140 for the US. All the Celestial Black (midnight blue) cars had the blue interior with the light tan piping, and all the Astral Gold cars had the Ivory interior with the blue piping- 70 of each color.

Me personally- I think they would each be hotter with eachothers' interiors as both came with blue dashes & steering wheels, so the exchange would be easy!! as door panels & seats etc.

IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH A GOLD CAR THAT WOULD LIKE TO SWAP INTERIORS- I'M GAME FOR THAT- PLEASE CONTACT ME. The Celestial Black/Blue car I ended up finding is 35k miles new.

Jaguar hasn't done anything more elegant than these since

I agree! That's why I looked for so long. I thought I had gotten the number 72 of the Celestial from Jaguar but perhaps not. Honestly don't remember. I just know I love it! The only thing I have had a problem with is the silver buttons on the ac that directs the air. Two of them had come off and I'm still trying to figure out how to get them back on.
