Default Nomenclature Question

I see the two-seat convertibles described as X100 and X150.
Please tell me the difference.
What is my 2006 XK8 convertible?
VIN SAJDA42C862A46075, 0.36 Engine = AJ 34 V8 300 hp @ 6000 RPM

The X100 was the older model 1996-2006 and X150 was the later model 2006-2014

Your VIN SAJDA42C862A46075 indicates you have a 2006 model year final edition X100. Last 6 digits of your VIN being between A45289 -to- A48684. Confusingly, your car was manufactured in 2005 !

Explanation of the difference already given above.

Explanation of the codes. X100 and X150 are the factory design codes used by JLR, their Dealers and the forum to distinguish between similarly badged models such as your XKR and the later aluminium bodied model like my Coupe where the SC version is also badged as XKR.

Not too difficult with the two door models but a real issue with the XJ6 badge which was applied to four totally different model ranges between 1968 and 2009.
