But there's always one!! I originally had the chrome new plinth but wanted something different. I had the J A G U A R letters on the top of boot, reminiscent of the E-type but when I put the spoiler on, I moved it to the plain body colored plinth. I even moved my boot button under the older plinth.
Yes, my XK8 is a Franken-Jag!!! Lol

Many owners have changes theirs so it's not an absolute indication of N/A or S/C.

Graham, just noticed your car. Very nice. Zircon Blue with Quad exhausts? After I posted this I ended up with large pictures of your car. Yes I can see it has quad exhausts now, it is Zircon too?

The top one with the quad exhausts was forum member Frog's Final Series XKR 4.2-S. Frog is a UK expat living in France. He sold the XKR in February 2014 to a German but the new owner has not turned up on the forum.
The bottom one with the single exhausts was my Final Series XK8 4.2-S. I part X'd this in November 2013 for my current XK. Again, the new owner has not turned up on the forum.
