and was curious about the 'X 200' badge as I'm used to that being the OEM model code for the modern S-types. Thinking at first that this was a one-off modified vehicle, I'm now finding a few references that this is one of three factory built specials.
The Jaguar factory didn't build these. This is a Paul Bailey Design XJS Monaco re-body kit. He did 10 cars back in the 1980s. There's still a few around. One was on ebay.co.uk a few months ago.
This happens to be my car.
I purchased the kit from Paul Bailey, just before he went bankrupt.
I placed it on a 1982 XJS with rust free low mileage. Complex job.
I believe that this is #10, and the last one.
I call it 'X200' since it has resemblance to the XJ220
I also believe that this is the only left hand drive.
I switched the 2.88 rear diff to a 3.56 to give better acceleration.
