Default Xkr Victory Edition in southern Spain

Currently at my second residence, in southern Spain. I have seen this car, apparently a Victory Edition Xkr, one time before in the same parking space. A beautiful car that I would love to own, but I also think it as a disgrace to put a leaper on the hood and all those stickers all over the car. Waste of beauty

There are actually quite a few jags around here. When leaving the shopping center, this sunburnt Xj40/Daimler had also parked. I saw also well looked after S-type

I'll be back there in September. I hope I don't see it.

The Victory Edition was only marketed in the US. The Rest of the World got the same specification as the Final Series. I had a 2005 4.2-S Final Series Coupe but resisted the temptation to make any additions to the specification.

Yes, it should be imported from the US. If you dont want to see it, avoid Fuengirola 😉

Good advice. I'll remember always to turn LEFT at the A-7 roundabout.

I don't usually say things like this, as everyone's taste is their own, and no one's opinion is right or wrong.

But that XKR is one of the most tastelessly modified cars I've ever seen.

It's wrong.

I'd have given a little more thought to the logo too ........





..... perhaps it says something about the owner.

Default Tasteful... not too loud

@dibbit

i hate to criticise some one’s “fashion” choices but for the sake of civilisation, I know which Spanish Jag I prefer. Simple and classic is always in fashion

Yep. My opinion is its very hard to improve on what Jaguar's own designers did, but of course each to his own.
