Default Stirling Moss version

Is this an official Jaguar XKR version or is it a dealer bottom line booster?

This one?

https://www.motorcarclassics.com/200...-xkr-c-562.htm

At that price compared to the price of my three, you could alternatively buy a number of cars in different colors of the jag rainbow with a couple of spare engines and transmissions, setting aside cash for someone else replacing them when needed, and use the cars as a wardrobe with a different one for each day of the week.

Note: this listed for $94K

Some might call that advert content "puffing" but l think most would call it something else entirely.
Price wise, even down here where these cars go for 10x US prices that would stand out.

There have been a few threads about these cars over the years and I believe it was established that this is a semi-official dealer applied sticker kit.

The power numbers are not to be believed, it is not trivial to find 80HP over the stock output without making reasonably serious modifications and these cars do not appear to have anything out of the ordinary under the hood.

Wow, it looks like someone bought it. I wonder how much they paid for it. The financing was more monthly than my mortgage.
