Question Replacing owners manual question

My 2014 XJR LWB didn't come with the manual. I would like to replace it so I am looking on ebay, such as this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/29651925641...Bk9SR5DF8eWHZA


But a couple questions I have are:

1. This appears to be a complete set of all items originally included, is that correct?
2. Are these items generic, or is there identifying information that would have been specific to my XJ, such as indicating the vin, or anything which different that was included with the XJR's?
3. My XJR is USA region, is there a way to tell if this was for a US model?

def, do you have to have a paper copy? If not, you can go to Jaguar's website and download a complete manual set for free. Because you put in your VIN when doing this, you will get all the applicable manuals you will need.

If you do a search here, you will find the link to the website. It is something like http://www.myjaguar.com

A good feature of Ebay is that you can ask the seller questions about what they are selling.
Rather than asking a general population about what the seller is offering, ask the seller.

Thanks Thermo. I was already aware of the digital manuals. I am seeking a direct replacement of the physical manual so the vehicle is not missing it's manual. I am seeking a 1 to 1 replacement, indistinguishable from the original manual that would have been sold with the vehicle, which is why I am asking for more information about the manuals. This is why I am asking questions such as, do these items indicate a VIN number. If that is the case, it would not be possible to directly replace it.

This is not helpful. I am already aware of this feature. 99% of the people listing these items are parts dealers and actually don't know any details regarding these manuals that actual owners and enthusiasts might know, such as, if a manual sold with Canadian market vehicles is actually different somehow than a European or US market vehicle. Owners on this forum likely own their own physical manuals and have likely actually read them. I expect people here are more knowledgeable about these items than random parts dealers trying to make money.

The manuals are similar to the online manuals (except they are printed on paper) - they say the same, and are not tied to/ do not indicate a VIN number. They aren't specific to the equipment fit of your car, either (there are a lot of places where the manual says "if fitted" or similar.).

Thank you for the help.
