get the vin and do a search?

 

i did lots of search but i am not sure that there is a model name of xjsport r ... tell do search is the easiest way to response

 

I'm not sure what country you're in, but there was an XJR and an XJ Sport. I believe the XJ Sport was in Europe only, but could be other markets. Not North America anyway. It would be considered a fairly base model, the Sovereign/ Vanden Plas was the top of the 6 cylinder range, and the XJR the most powerful.

The Sport is normally aspirated, the XJR is supercharged. A look at the engine will tell you the difference immediately.

If it really is a 1995, it will be a inline 6 cylinder, V8's didn't come out until 1998 model year. Quick way to tell at a glance is look at the parking lights in the bumper: 6cylinder/V12 (X300)= rectangular lights. V8 (X308)= oval lights.

It's easy enough to change the badges too, never rely on them completely.

Welcome to the forum bahober,

I've merged your two identical threads together. Please DO NOT post the same question in separate threads.

One thing I see in all the advert links you have posted - Turkish sellers don't include pictures of the engine! That would be the easiest way to see if it is NA (Normally Aspirated) or SC (Supercharged) and straight 6 or V8. The 'R' in XJR indicates supercharged but a 1995 (the white car) will be a 6 cylinder and not a V8.

The 'sport' models were only different in trim - black window surrounds instead of chrome and dark wood trim on the dash and door cappings. There was no performance upgrade.

Badges on the boot lid have been changed, wheels are from a V8 car. Seats looks worn. I noticed the trim panel is missing and the ECU in the passengers foot well can be seen.

It is a 6 cylinder XJR. Inline 6, not V6 though.

 

Looks like an XJR. Has the correct 6 cylinder wheels. Usually they should have a body coloured grille, like this one has.

Interesting that this one has chrome window surrounds. I thought only North American market XJR's had that. Obviously not.

Another 6 cylinder car. Aftermarket wheels I think, I don't recognize them as anything Jaguar made.

 

No pictures of the engine? If picture of engine, then it's clear on what you're talking
