For the ItalianMarket?

Even though mine is RHD, this is the reply I had from jagcrc at jaguarlandrover.com. Are they wrong or is my car a ringer?Thank you for your continued patience.

Unfortunately, the vehicle was supplied for the Italian market, meaning that Jaguar UK cannot provide an On The Road price. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Really? But it's a right hand drive, was it originally sold in Italy then imported?

All we can advise at this point was that the vehicle was supplied for the Italian market so a UK list price would not be available to provide to you, once again I apologise for this but unfortunately do not have any further detail on the matter.

rod9669,
It is possible. A friend of mine shipped his Merc to Malta. It was actually docked and unloaded in Italy before final transfer to the Maltese island - where cars are Right Hand Drive. No idea why this was done.If it’s any help, here is the On-The-Road price list for your Car in 2004 in the UK (£GBP). Look in the top header. [Source PRICE LIST JLM/10/03/03/04]

Thanks for this - looks like mine has every possible extra on it, including Recaro seats, that I can't see as an on-cost option on there?

Recaro's were part of the R-Performance options. See below prices from 2003 [Source PRICE LIST JLM/10/03/08/03].

Very interesting - again, throws as many questions as answers!
Mine has the Brembo and 20" Montreal wheels but the calipers are aluminium with green and red Jaguar R stenciling, not solid red colour

Mine are standard Brembo's as well.
Actually, the 'All Red Calipers' are quite rare. It seems that few Jaguar buyers chose the £495 option.
There was no improvement to braking performance and I suppose the appearance was too racy for some back then. Quite commonplace on cars today.

My 2005 XKR Coupe has everything listed accept for the Recaro Seats....I've never known what all came with the Handling Pack until now! Had no idea that I had the Updated Road Springs and anti-roll bar or the Lower Vehicle stance and re-tuned steering! If you look at the Car it does set low and handles exceptionally well! Also, this is the first I've heard of the Aluminum Pack but my XKR has it! But there again, I have the Momo gear knob but not the All Leather Steering Wheel...

I think the Red Brembo Calipers look really good with the Black Color of the Car and the Silver "Montreal's"!
Thanks for Posting these Price Lists but I noticed that even though I have the "R" performance package, I didn't get the Recaro Seats, of which I am glad! They are very uncomfortable to get in and out of and don't help that much more in the curves!

Shocking is the £70 option for the Cupholder (circa $100 USD). That’s expensive for a load of Coffee in the lap ! Owners quickly felt short-changed by the lord himself....
