95-97 XJR options and packages?
...did some searching of the forum, but didn't find what I was looking for. Apologies if it is archived somewhere, and happy to go take a look if I can be pointed in the right direction
But I was wondering if anyone had a list of the standard features and options/packages for the 95-97 XJR?
I have some old brochures ordered which probably will call those features out, standard versus optional, but was curious if the forum had that data posted somewhere.
Thanks,
Al

Heated rear seats?
I think I have noticed various 95-97 XJRs with and without the rear console floor "extension" tray that seems to include the rear heated seat switches?
Were the rear heated seats an optional item?
Or were the rear console "extension" trays themselves an option for certain model years and the rear heated seats were standard and had the switches located elsewhere?

I have the US sales brochure for the 95MY and the only options listed for the XJR are
The leaper hood ornament
An engine block heater
Full size spare tyre
Heated front seats were standard.
I do know that heated rear seats were offered with the LWB cars from 96MY on but not sure if they were for the XJR as it was only made in SWB versions

Heh ...true.
But now that leads to another question. Since it seems that rear heated seats were standard on at least the 96 XJRs, were the heated rear seat switches always in that console "extension" or sometimes elsewhere?
I seem to recall seeing some 97 XRJs in the US without the rear extension.
Curious to see if someone has a US spec brochure for the 97.

hat is the "JDHT" and where do I find it?
Wow, there were actually quite a few options then.
Forgive me, what is the "JDHT" and where do I find it? Happy to purchase the CD if it has all that useful info.

There was never an option for a manual gearbox in the US it was auto only. There were only very few options like those listed above. The XJR essentially came "fully loaded"
JDHT is the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, an excellent organization that provides an excellent online parts catalog, workshop manuals on CD ROM, Heritage certificates and many other useful resources.

I have a US spec 1997MY brochure I bought off eBay.
It reads the following as an option on xj6, vdp, and xjr:
"2 position, memory door mirrors, drivers seat
and steering column with auto tilt-away feature" but
shows as standard equipment on xk8 coupes & converts.
Also, fwiw, the All-Weather Package which consist of:
- headlamp power wash
- engine block heater
- heated front seats
- heated rear seats (sedan)
- heated windshield
- heated rear window
were standard equipment for 1997MY as per my brochure

I've see a few 96 XJRs with the rear heated seats though.
And when I say "see" , I mean from photos. So take that with a grain of salt!

This red XJR that al has been looking at is not what I would consider a typical XJR. It looks optioned as a regular car with sports seats. Most of the XJR6 cars that I remember had the two color interior and a wood shifter.
