Default Silver jaguar xj

Does anyone have a silver x308 that didn't have a black interior. All the YouTube videos and x308 I have seen with a silver paint job have had black so if anyone has one that isn't black I would love to see a picture

I found a couple on autotrader, but the pictures aren't very helpful. Here's one...

Haha, yes but the Oldsmobile committed suicide in the process. It was destroyed by my solid steel Jaguar doing 60 mph.

Yes, both my previous XJ8's were silver and had light coloured interiors. The first one was a 2001 XJ Sovereign which was Platinum Silver with an Oatmeal interior. The second one was a 1999 which was Meteorite silver had an Ivory interior. Here are photos of both cars below.

I always thought Silver and Black looked the best but we all have our own ideas. Might have to junk this one. Too many problems to pass on to a new owner. Maybe try and sell it for parts but there's too many of those out there already.

its would be a good project car, engine swap, coupe, or convertible would be something no one would pass up

I'm in the S.F. Bay Area.

All timing/tensioners were replaced 45,000 miles ago but it's starting to over-heat so the thermostat needs replacing. Plus a small crack in the windshield, the fuel gauge drops to E when it hit's 3/8 tank, the shocks are soft and the tranny doesn't immediatly drop into first gear (drove it like that for 3-4 years). Otherwise, it'a beautiful car. I'll try and sell it as a parts car. Maybe someone out there can use it for something.

Well if it makes you feel better i drains my battery so bad the hazard lights won't even come one, I know in California there isn't much space but keep it in the garage for a few years, the xk8 and s type are seeing there prices rising
