Hi All,
I found this sad sight on ebay the other day.
Hate to see this but it may help to keep others alive.
John.

 

I would like some parts off that one but can't find it.
What's the item number please?
Thanks :-)

Thanks; found it.
Seller is a bit too pricey for me though...
I might leave it a while and make sensible offers (to me) later on.

 

For fun... who here has a turquoise XJR? Available on the 1994/1995 model year XJR only. What a stunning unicorn of a Jaguar! Anyone?

Turquoise is also seen on the XJS, although my colour guide doesn't show it (other than special order).

 

Hello,
I wonder how many were sold in this color, I don`t think I have ever seen one in the flesh, only on Ebay at silly money.
John

 

Why not try and strike a deal, anything is only worth what someone will pay.
The seller wants £75 for the grille, I bought one for a lot less.
It costs nothing to send a message will you accept.............
I will keep my eyes open for more like this.
John

 

I've got a 1995 Torquoise XJR which I've now owned for 3 years. I was going to buy an XKR but by chance I saw the XJR and loved the colour (it was also a lot cheaper and more practical than a XK).

 

Hi Geoff,
I think it is a great colour.
Even in a yard being broken for parts, the car still looks good.
It would be nice to give the hood one last polish.
John.

 

One was for sale on Bring a Trailer, sold for 5k.

 

Yes; it was the grille I was after.
I'll send the message :-)

 

Hi Kevin,
How did you get on?
John

 

Not got round to it yet - busy with leisure! :-)

 

I Have a turquoise '95 XJR. The colour wasn't my first choice at the time but it really grew on me. After 13-14 years of ownership, it helps it stand out as a '90s performance model. I considered changing it when we did a home respray as a solid colour would be so much easier, but I didn't want to take the doors off, and now fresh and not faded looks great. Some areas not perfect, so will do some panels again at some point

 

Hello John,
Do you have any pictures?
John

 

Turquoise was the colour chosen for the XJR launch , so Jaguar must have been pretty pleased with it.

 

This is mine, not as clean as it could be and not the best light. the paint job turned out ok and looks really good in most lights,

but the left side that was near to the garage wall and in bad light wants redoing at some point along with the roof and boot lid. At least the metalwork is done and it should now match, if I paint the panels separately. I plan to paint the wheels next, and remove the broken air conditioning to save a little weight and make room for an extra intercooler radiator. It's been off the road for over year as it failed its MOT on fuel mixture and I didn't have time to sort being a new Dad. Its fixed now, so hope to be back out in it once the covid thing has blown over!

 

Hi John,
I think it looks great.
Mine are not show cars never will be, but I get a lot of fun driving them.
I will post more pics as soon as time allows.
John
