Does the VIN Number on the log book match the VIN Number on the car?

Welcome to the forum rob.low,

DVLA aren't renowned for their accuracy!

Any Jaguar dealer will be able to tell from the VIN exactly which model you have. They can lookup the original build specification of the vehicle on the Direct Dealer Warranty System.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

I know on the old model (x300) the base car was called an 'Executive' and on the newer model (x308) the base model is called the 'Sport' so might just be a relic of the older model,

i think the order for the x308 is

XJ Sport - 3.2 litre V8
XJ8 - 3.2 litre V8
XJ8 - 4.0 litre V8
Sovereign - 4.0 litre V8, long wheelbase
XJR - 4.0 litre V8 supercharged
