"an attempt to bring something different to the market with little additional expense". YES that is "speculating". You have NO idea what Jaguar was thinking when it comes to the bringing of the XJR/XKR-100 to market. I can "speculate" that it wasn't what you wrote (I was around then too). Our local dealer had no problem selling the one he had. And yes, I take your view on the XJR-100 as negative, after all......like you said, IMO!
I never said anything about the XJR -- Only why Jaguar made the special addition. They actually offered the brakes as an option in some markets -- they did not sell. This was a way to get rid of them.
Don't forget the X350 was delayed .. they carried over the X308 into 2003 .. Cost them a lot of money.

My memory would have been 5k up-charge ... not 7.5k. See why I did not think it was a good value at the time.
Jaguar was doing some major discounting back then. They had a new white VDP that they offered to me at +10k off .. I remember that.
My 1998 VDP had recently been in an accident (totaled). I took my 1995 VDP in for an estimate -- it had a lot of miles on it and need a bunch of work. They had a 2002 XJR with a build of 8/01 - sitting for months at an inside storage facility (with others) -- plastic still on it. They gave it to me for my 1995 and 10k -- two year one payment lease with a 31k purchase buy out that they agreed to finance at 3.9 for 4 years. 3.9% was a good rate back then.
My 1995 was not worth 10k -- when you add up the costs. I purchased a new never titled but almost year old XJR for at most 52K in late 2002. That's 20k off.
That was the Jaguar reality -- even with the x350 delay ... they had too many cars.
