How rare and special is this?
During our hunt for the XJR, we'd stumbled across this too -- a Jaguar Concept 8
A quick Google search leads to pages on prototype vehicles and I couldn't find any
production numbers for the Concept 8 right away. I didn't do this in-depth (yet).
Sadly, no interior shots and only two exterior. I might actually have to go look at
it just for the sake of having seen it.
Is it special?
For the record, I'm in no way affiliated with this car

It looks pretty neat. A few extra features, most I wouldn't use as I'd be in the driver's seat. I do like the larger sunroof, though if something broke parts may be hard to find. Not so sure about the purple color, though. It seems more like a collector item or owning for bragging rights than a daily driver.

The colour is called Black Cherry, 95% of the time black, but gives of a lovely red flake when the sun hits it. My car was resprayed Black Cherry by the previous owner.

The dealer bought the car as part of a trade-in, previous owner (from the Geneva-area)
bought an RS-4. The car has been at the dealer for some two months with no interest.
In fact, I seem to have been the first person ringing about it and I'm not even in the market.
I let the dealer know I'm not a buyer right away, they were happy to show me this gorgeous
thing anyway.
As promised, I've taken a interior photos. The exterior is as beautifully preserved as the
dealer photos show it, just that it was wet and generally nasty outside today so I skipped
on taking more myself. Particularly the wood caught my attention, it's a finish I've not
previously seen in any Jaguar and I like it!
Enjoy
P.S: I'm sure the dealer would be ready to negotiate at this point!

Is the rear center console permanent VS fold down? Are concept8/portfolios the only models with the extra rear cup holders?
I've never grasped the mat finish wood concept except that it is "different" rather like the slightly inset instrument gauges in the 80s high end models.
BTW, I once accidentlly got some red overspray on my wife's black Jeep Cherokee and she didn't buy the "Black Cherry" explanation. Wasn't that also the color of the last 100 XJ12 models?
