Default X300 trim/model variants

Hi all, I'll start the ball rolling, trusting that others will add there knowledge to this thread.
I'm basically looking to find out the exact differences between the different X300 models. I drive what I believe to be a base model, with the 3.2 lt AJ16 engine, admittedly I have upgraded the head and tail lights with a set from an X308 and fitted "Andy's" crank sensor bracket along with a KnN pod air filter.
I was looking at local car sales web sites to see how much the x300s are selling for here in Australia when I noticed a X300 heritage listed and admitadly even after some Google searches have no idea where the heritage model came from or fitted in to the line? I realise that different countries received different variants along with upgrade options at the point of sale. I think this is where my sport model wheels came from.

Right Mikey there were many different market variations. I think base models came with cloth seating.

In the USA, the base models came with the "non-base" 4.0L engines (no 3.2 in the US), leather seating and automatic memory seats, auto tilt wheel, etc.

There is no Heritage model in the US and I haven't heard of that before.

Sport model dimple wheels are a nice upgrade but not available in the US. CD players were an option but included on the XJ12 and XJR.

Currently there is a good looking base model for sale locally, with a low 158,000 miles for $3900.



Not my previous XJ6 but just like it! I don't need a third Jag, but if I did.......
