Yeah, I like nice wood! A German friend was visiting a few days ago and when he opened the door he said it was like stepping into a nice Living Room. That works for me.

OK, I have some older pictures in the Jag Album that are not great, but they will give you a pretty good idea of the overall look. The full effect while actually sitting behind the wheel is pretty cool.
Hey..................MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember seeing on eBay a dash trim kit that was an all-wood burl stained charcoal black. It looked exactly like the stock Jaguar XK8/R wooden dashboard, but had an understated elegance and aggressive look to it. I considered purchasing it but the item was sold really fast for about $600.

I've been searching the web for 45min trying to find a picture of it with no luck.

Anyone else seen this black wooden dash?
