As far as I am aware it is mainly the following items :
Different wheels
Two tone piping on the leather seats along with leaping cats embossed in the head rest area
Partial wood steering wheel
Celebration hood ornament.
Not sure if there were some unique colors for 1996. The V12 was only available as a special order and as far as I know only a few V12's were produced in 1996. I have always felt that Jaguar missed the mark by not putting the supercharged 4.0L in the 1996 which would have really made the Celebration model stand out. Makes sense why they did not as it would not have looked good having a 6 cylinder making more horse power than either the V12 or the upcoming V8.

Fuel lines for 1996
The lines are 10mm and 8mm with Legris push on fittings mates to factory crimped lines to threaded fittings...and no one sells them for the 95-96 celebration models. I looked into Legris push on fittings mated to threaded ends (aka adapters) but only found either plastic or parts for SAE sizes, where there is a 0.47mm difference, which is not good for high pressure fuel lines. Contacted Legris, they kicked it around until “Sorry, our engineers can’t solve this” came about. I’m about to just flare the ends and make them compression fittings. Any other solutions are more than welcome.
P.S., I found some high pressure stainless fittings that are $150 for two, and two sizes equals $300...just for adapters. Might just have them rebuilt at a hydraulic shop.
