Same all JLR dealers in my area are using 5W20 Edge Professional.

Just keep changing the oil every 3-5000 miles and you probably will not have a problem. My 12 XK vert had the same top color and I thought it was a great look also had the same Caravela 19" wheels - terrific combination. Looks like a great purchase. Good luck!!

Smaller piece sewn together and not big edges near the windshield. Also more alternate materials than just leather where the extreme sunlight exposes.

Have no idea if the leather spec is different. I thought they use large hide and just cut every piece out of that? I know some companies would use specific parts of the the hide for the seat cushions, but beyond that... Could be?
