Cool combo!
Is the blue wrapped as well, or just the stripe?
I whole heartedly agree that these cars meant to have fun with! I, too, love to mix it up and make my Jaguars unique. And I too have both an XK and an XF! And both are heavily modified. I've just had my XK8 interior given the Louis Vuitton treatment. Not a gangsta style, but a more vintage steamer trunk feel done with recycled LV vinyl from old damaged large garment bags.
I'd love to see a Jaguar show with only modified cars! Now that would be amazing!!

Apologies for the delay in replying - I only just saw the message...

The light blue is also part of the wrap.

As it happens, the wrap will be coming off in about 6 weeks time and it's going to be wrapped again but in different colours.
Still a GULF scheme, but similar to the colours on the McLaren cars - black lower, blue upper and a wide orange waist line separating the colours.
Black nose and tail, orange stripe over the top.

Sounds a bit much, but I've had drawings etc done for the wrappers to follow - it will be another 'Marmite' car...

Freshly washed and waxed. ❤️
I'm getting quite tired of all the clouds and rain. Anxiously awaiting a sunny day so that I can get some pictures that do the amaranth pearl justice!

Looks like Quartz. My 2005 S-Type is Quartz and it matches the photo above....

A few photos of the family outing we did yesterday in the Guadarrama mountains/range near Madrid to celebrate Father's Day.

For children not too large and thin are compatible and it is also necessary that those who go ahead are also of a not very large stature.

Default XKE Becomes XKR

Please check-out this video I've just uploaded.




At the broker where I bought our 2002 XKR, they happened to have a 1968 XKE almost exactly the same color. Because GR Auto Gallery is so meticulous about their photos, I was able to download identical poses, morph them together in PowerPoint, and upload as a video to YouTube. (Credit to Welcome To GR Auto Gallery | GR Auto Gallery)

To me, this shows with great satisfaction how the X100 faithfully preserved the mystical legacy of the E-Type, which Enzo Ferrari declared to be "the most beautiful car ever built."

Enjoy!

Nice had me until the rear shot, no way the XKR is anywhere related to the XKE in the rear, by the way that's a 68 XKE

Thanks for the correction... I've edited the post.

I do see a very stylized preservation of some elements of the rear.
  • The overall shape of the rear deck seen from overhead.
  • The up sweep of the line between the rear fender and bumper as seen from the side. Let your eye just completely remove the bumper.
  • Inside the taillight units are three distinct lights.
Having said all that, I would certainly agree that the rear end lost the most in translation. Oh well...
