Default x308 with 2-tone interior - is this normal?

I've never seen an x308 with black upper-trim and oatmeal lower trim, looks neat that way:

Most of the XJR's that I've seen that are not all-black interior have that, including mine

I believe all XJR's have the black dash top, and possibly the 3.2 Sports as well.

There are different variants though, some are just the top:


Some have the top of the centre console black as well:


And some are grey: (apologies for the large pic, was the best I could find on google)


Did any of the XJ8/VDP's etc come with green across the top, or was that just an XK thing?

I've only was aware of the black-color configuration in your 2nd photo, dash and center console in the dark color with doors mono-tone in the gray/oatmeal.

As well as the brown/oatmeal that is in the majority of x308s

Looks like a black and white cookie, or a chevy.
Sorry, not a fan of the dark wood or two tone interior.

I like the black top half, the black dash reduces glare and looks better than a light one. The black dash and console with all-white doors looks kind of odd though. The dark wood I was never a fan of either, not as vibrant as the standard stuff.

Really the point is that all black interior w/ standard wood inserts is always the best look...

I am not sure everyone will agree on that one, I for sure do not
