Here is what it should look like:
Thank you, is it easily corrected? Funny think is, I've never tried the cruise control, but as long its being worked kn, I'll have my Jaguar mechanic correct it.

Also, while it's apart I'm going to have the spark plugs replaced. Any recommendations for plugs (brand) or specific type?

It's easy to correct. Undo 2 bolts, flip it over and bolt it back in place.

Plugs: NGK BR7EF. Gap to 0.025" The front 4 are tricky to do, but the quickest and easiest way is to remove the belt on the AC compressor, unbolt the compressor and move it aside. There is enough flex in the hoses to allow this without discharging the refrigerant.

You'll have to remove the cruise bellows to remove the AC compressor, so it's a good time to correct it.
