No I don't, I can only go by what I've seen listed on ebay.
For example, this set is probably for a 2007, as the docs are labeled "The New XK":

2007 2008 08 2009 09 JAGUAR XK XKR XKR-S OWNERS MANUAL + PORTFOLIO | eBay

While these sets are likely for a 2008-2009:

2007 2008 08 2009 09 JAGUAR XK XKR XKR-S OWNERS MANUAL + PORTFOLIO | eBay

2007 2008 08 2009 09 JAGUAR XK XKR XKR-S OWNERS MANUAL + PORTFOLIO

All from the same seller. The sets come with a dark green case, and I received one of those with the set I bought also, but I wasn't crazy about the color with my car, so I picked up an OEM black case separately on ebay.

I don't think there were any CD/DVD's other than the navigation DVD with the car. I have picked up promotional literature, both on ebay and in the 'market place' of these forums, that did include CD/DVD sales pitches.

Ok, thanks, just want to make sure I am accounting for everything. Wow, pricey. Not sure I want to drop too much on this...just wondering how important to owners it is to have with PDF versions readily available.

I'm also going to research getting a copy of build information. I usually keep original window stickers..but did not buy this new.

The PDF manuals are useful as you learn about the car. In the long run the PDF service manual will be more useful.

Thanks KJ, I have the user manual and 4000 page service manual in PDF format and have been using both for education and maintenance/repair. Very was to search these.

Just wondering if having the original documentation makes the care more complete. We are in the information age and things are readily available. I'll probably find more value in say a second FOB, as my car only has one. I am also exploring more factory info from jaguar. In the past I have been able to make inquiries to other manufacturers about the specific car. Build sheets, original window stickers (I save them all when buying new), stuff like that...

If you go by Samuel's at some point, tell them I sent you. I stopped by there a couple of weeks ago to show off the XE. Every non-warrantied Jaguar crosses their path in MA.
