Very nice, Steve! I'm generally a fan of chrome gubbings and festooning but the body-color and black trimmings on yours REALLY works! Very nicely kept.

Very nice. Unusual to have a leaper on the bonnet, no?

So very Jag, especially the first two pics. Those wheels look a lot easier to clean than mine. And do my eyes deceive me or does your rev counter red zone start at 6500 rpm?

Yes, full red starts at 7k, but it seems the broken red starts at 6.5k. On my '05 STR the broken red starts at 5.75k. That's quite a big diff.

Thanks for the comments Gents. Yes the dull red is @ 6500rpm while the bright red starts a 7000. It is indeed the 2.5 V6 201bhp. Which is plenty of grunt for my needs :0)

How do you survive with a leaper in Northumberland? Down here the local traffic boys would pull you over at first sight!

No chrome is much better and one of the reasons I bought mine. Nice S Steve.

Why would they pull you over for having a leaper....They are not illegal Its sprung so as not to hurt people when you mow them down,Lol. I've had no problems with Plod so far

Hmm. The leaper is the only item that spoils the Sport theme of the car, just my opinion of course.
