Is there a list somewhere of exterior and interior colours for the XJR6? Or does anyone know?

As it was a fairly short run for the supercharged model I’m curious to find out.

The one I’ve purchased recently is silver, which seems fairly rare, I’ve not seen others in this colour. Main colours I have seen are the anthracite black and a very pale metallic blue. Thanks in advance.

 

XJR6 color choices were limited to Black, British Racing Green, Red mica and Sapphire Blue metallic (dark blue). For first year 1995 models, Turquoise metallic was a standard color while White and Sapphire were special order colors. This information comes from the service manual and the color chart brochures.

That being said, I recently saw a Titanium silver XJR6 for sale in the area. You have a silver one. And forum member Al R. (in the US) has a Titanium XJR. So that seems to be a color you could get if you knew who to ask.

The books say that all X300 models can be Special Ordered in any color and interior trim, except the XJR. Always thought that was odd.

 

Here's a terrible photo of the 1995 UK brochure in which you can just make out the four colours offered (just plain "Black" in 1995), along with a chart of interior colours.

 

FWIW....

In the USA I've only seen Black, White, Red, and Turquoise on the XJR/6s....with Black most common. Just my observation, mind you.

If Jaguar offered different colors for different markets I wouldn't be surprised. It isn't uncommon. It's also fairly common for color choices to vary, for various reasons, as production rolls along...thus the ever-present "specifications subject to change" disclosure in sales literature.

Here’s a picture of the one I’ve just purchased. Definitely silver. Looks like the ‘Silver Frost’ from the brochure higher up. Nice to know it’s a rarity.

 

Black is definitely the most common color, I've only seen 3 in person (two being black and one being my brg)

 

the row xjr could special ordered any color/interior combo and chromed out

 

Or maybe it's from Europe. Didn't all North American XJR6s have full stainless bright trim around the windows and door frames?

 

Mine’s from Japan, built in Coventry but has spent its life in Tokyo until now. As it’s in the process of being repatriated; bringing it back home to England.

 

yes but you couldn’t get chromed out mirrors door strips rear lights and tail piece. you could custom order a european xjr any way you wanted except make it longer pretty much

some north american dealers installed chrome grills

 

Quick update on this. I’ve had information back from Jaguar Heritage to say the colour is ‘Ice Blue’ (looks silver to me!), which is a pale silver with a hint of blue.

Has anyone ever seen an XJR6 in ‘Ice Blue’?

 

Yes, the first one I drove in 1995 ( a dealer demonstrator) was ice blue with a lighter than oatmeal interior( ivory? Cream?)

 

Sapphire Blue metallic, mine and "supposedly" rare
