Default 1993 Jaguar XJS question

Hi I have a 93’ XJS-XTC.
anyone know what the XTC is. The door mats have “XJS-XTC” on them and on the panels there is a set of pinstripe lines and very small print XJS-XTC on it as well. I can’t seem to find any info online about this.

thanks for your wisdom in advance.

My guess it was owner added meaning "Ecstasy". That, or it was a dealer marketing gimmick.

The factory never made anything called an "XJS-XTC".

Can you post pics of the pinstripes showing this "XJS-XTC" logo?

Cheers

Paul

thanks for the replies. I’ll get some photos up when I get home this weekend. I’m away for the week at work.

Nic51,

The closed ends of the stripes at the rear if the car indicates it's an aftermarket addition. The fact the 2 "X"s are different indicates someone has just hand-painted that.

The mats are perhaps someone machine-stitching the letters into a standard mat

I guess some people like to personalise their cars. I'd return it back to standard, bur hey, it's your car, your choice, enjoy it!

Paul

Thanks for the reply Paul! Year I have a lot of projects with the car that need to be addressed first and foremost. Just got it this week and I can’t wait to get into it and really look around. First all new fluids, belts, rear diff service, and coolant flush.
then the fun part the detailing. Such a beautiful car tho. I’m silvery happy as an Ex Pat Brit to be having this as my weekend cruiser. Loads to learn but this forum has been amazing thus far. So much knowledge has been poured out.
thanks again mate!
