Very sorry about the pic guys but had a black vantage park behind me out the front of my work and also a s5 sorry I know the audi isn't British but it's still worthy of going up on our forum

Guilty as charged that is me ! The pic with the db9 is Vic rd gladesville and the pic with the vantage is also on Vic rd west Ryde
Yes don't often see too many xk's getting around in Australia so much for keeping it stealth !

Steve,

Thanks. The color is Shadow Gray, and was exclusive to the USA-only 2009 XKR Portfolio models (coupe and convertible), the final year of the 4.2L engine. Here's a much better photo:


It appears lighter or darker depending on the light conditions. This was taken on a sunny day in late afternoon with the setting sun directly on the car, which makes it appear darker towards the bottom.

Stuart

Yes agreed.

I missed the ol' days when all Jag models looked different, yet unmistakably Jaguar... none of that 'corporate design identity' boring nonsense that we have today.

XJ350 exterior is better looking than what they have now. Such a revolutionary car. I'd like to get another.
