I'm not sure if i'm missing something or if it was not installed or replaced.
I lifted the floor mats to dump the dirt out but below the floor mat was a foam lining then metal.
Am I just missing carpet or did the car doesn't come equip with it.

Just curious.

 

I’m not sure, but for what it’s worth mine is the same. Floor mat, foam, metal floor.

 

Pendax7,

The XJS carpeting is made up of fixed carpet around the sills, transmission tunnel, under seats and rear footwell bulkhead. It then uses removable sections of carpet for the front and rear footwells, which clip into place by differing systems, depending on the age of the XJS. In the UK, we refer to these as the footwell carpets. You can then buy what we call "carpet mats" which are protective carpet overmats that go onto top of these carpet pieces. I'd suggest you always buy some version of those to protect the base footwell carpets.

So, your car, is standard as regards its carpet.
