It was just a design change/upgrade. I can't remember the change point exactly ...VIN 148xxx or something like that....but it was in calendar year 1988; 1989 model year for USA cars

Cheers

Huh, didn't know what the deal was, Mine has them, and I can see how they would help during hard cornering, so I thought they might have been an option that would be part of a performance or handling package. Like a lot of American cars have. Not sure if Jaguar does anything like that or not? Thanks for the info Doug.

PS. They make it a pain to get in and out of the car.
