Lets see your Leapers

I love my Leaper! It reminds me that I'm driving a Jag every time I see it gleaming in the sun. & is one of the most distinctive & easily recognised logos in the automotive world. It also lends itself to some great photo ops, & I'm sure that I'm not the only one to get a little creative with it. So how about sharing some great shots of a great icon. Here's my effort.

Mine does not have a leaper but here are some that I took over the years:

If you use the < and > buttons, you will be able to see some other creative badging as well. It's not my cup of tea, but it's your car and it's a short life, so do as you wish! If the next owner doesn't like it, they can always take it off.

If it were my car, I wouldn't.
The Leaper is an almost integral design elements on the saloons/sedans, but not on the GT and sports car, which have the Growler badge instead.
I never see a leaper on C/D/E-type nor an XK (both X100/X150-gen).
But whatever floats your boat I guess ..... if it makes you happy, go for it.
