Default Great Video - Stirling Moss XKR

Below is a link to the best video I’ve seen that highlighting the very rare Stirling Moss Edition XKR. The information is correct and very comprehensive. Worth a look

To each their own l guess. l think Stirling Moss "edition" is a misnomer. We could "tart" our own cars up to be one off's and they'd be even rarer.

The forum has already been spammed with this youtube video. Scroll down the page a bit to the "Most expensive X100 in the world" thread. I warn you though that the comments aren't kind.

To quote labcoatguy from a couple of years ago,,, "To confirm what folks have said above, I asked the official Jaguar Heritage organization about these, and got this reply:
Quote:
The cars being advertised as Stirling Moss editions were not produced in the Jaguar factory. They were aftermarket conversions done in the US market (we think by a dealer in California) and were produced as part of a marketing support programme for a historic race series supported by Jaguar North America in 2003. It would appear that just five were made; from searching on the internet, the first car looks like a show car with flip up doors and different wheels and interior, the others look more like standard production, all with the same paint finish - silver with green and red stripes . Some changes were also made to the engine management mapping so that higher power output could be claimed."
