I did!
Thing is that the veneer of my XKR (100) Coupé which I bought recently was painted in 'piano black' by the previous owner.
Actually it looks quite good and I will leave it like that for now. But I wish he would have taken a less drastic route, like using black foil to make this reversible. But hey, to each his own.
OTOH I decided to get the genuine 'grey-stained birds eye maple' veneer (for the sake of originality) - at some time on the distant future, maybe never. You can imagine my surprise when someone offered the proper veneer on Ebay last week (AFAIK both 'special editions' had the same grey-stained... veneer).
The only thing I have to change is the lettering/decal. Maybe someone here could send me a hi-res close-up of the 'XKR 100' lettering/decal on the right fascia. That would be great.
I will send pics of the veneer as soon as it arrives here in Germany.

Besides, the seller had a reserve price.
Thing is that this special veneer seems to be quite rare. I'm not sure if this was an option for the 'normal' X100-series.
I guess there still might be a couple of these in the UK but obviously these won't fit in a LHD car.
So, I admit - there was an opportunity and I took it. ;-)
