The 2006 Portfolio badge is unique for Jaguar in another respect. For the US there were no options offered other than a choice of 2 exterior colors. If I recall the only Super V8 option it didn't have was a partial wood heated steering wheel. The Portfolio badge was used again in 2009, but at the time it was more an optioned out Super V8, with no unique features. The numbers that year were very low.

I contacted Fred Hammond at the Jaguar Archive and he told me there are no official statistics for the numbers and types of X350/358 XJ's imported into US. Ford was very tight lipped about this info during their ownership. We do know how many of each type were produced at the factory but we don't know where they went. He did say he would try to work from sales numbers and see what he could figure out but it would take some time.

All Supers were LWB only. That it why there is no information on SWB Supers, as they were never made. As you probably aware the Supers are super rare, only few hundreds made every year. I own a 2005.
