What colours did the XJR6 come in?

Is there a list somewhere of exterior and interior colours for the XJR6? Or does anyone know?
As it was a fairly short run for the supercharged model I’m curious to find out.
The one I’ve purchased recently is silver, which seems fairly rare, I’ve not seen others in this colour. Main colours I have seen are the anthracite black and a very pale metallic blue. Thanks in advance.

XJR6 color choices were limited to Black, British Racing Green, Red mica and Sapphire Blue metallic (dark blue). For first year 1995 models, Turquoise metallic was a standard color while White and Sapphire were special order colors. This information comes from the service manual and the color chart brochures.
That being said, I recently saw a Titanium silver XJR6 for sale in the area. You have a silver one. And forum member Al R. (in the US) has a Titanium XJR. So that seems to be a color you could get if you knew who to ask.
The books say that all X300 models can be Special Ordered in any color and interior trim, except the XJR. Always thought that was odd.

FWIW....
In the USA I've only seen Black, White, Red, and Turquoise on the XJR/6s....with Black most common. Just my observation, mind you.
If Jaguar offered different colors for different markets I wouldn't be surprised. It isn't uncommon. It's also fairly common for color choices to vary, for various reasons, as production rolls along...thus the ever-present "specifications subject to change" disclosure in sales literature.

Mine’s from Japan, built in Coventry but has spent its life in Tokyo until now. As it’s in the process of being repatriated; bringing it back home to England.
