Jaguar boot badge colors with "R" - meaning
All I'm a new Jaguar owner
Question:
Anybody know what the Red and Green colors mean for the Jaguar boot badge or grill badge? - IE: like the Jaguar XKR - "R" emblem has a "red and green" color vertical bars with the R in the badge emblem.
I have a 2008 Convertible XKR with 4.2 liter Supercharge engine.
I always wanted to own one and now that I'm getting close to retirement - I purchased a used Jaguar and I'm really impressed with it's performance and ride comfort.
The Jag forum has very good information content to research - I have took notes of the vast members experiences with Jaguar cars related to mine - lots of lessens learned - thanks to all who contributed. I hope to input my lessons learn in the jag forums as I'll be performing technical service via DYI.
Hobbies:
Working on cars - have a shop with car lift.
RC Sailplanes / RC Sailboat
Motorcycles
Travel USA by sport car or motorcycles

2008 Jaguar XKR conv.

It's Supercharged, right? Well then, the 'R' with bars is for RACER!!

Really, I have no idea. I simply couldn't resist.
