I don't know if I would go that far, but certainly compared to the E-Type (XKE), where the coupe looked like someone had abandoned a garden shed on the car as an afterthought, I think that the X100 coupe is certainly just as good looking as the convertible.

Indeed they do. You look as smug as I did! What year is yours? I'm on my tablet and it doesnt show signatures. I have burr walnut as my dash with beige vinyl above. Yours I think looks as tho is the darker dash with black vinyl?

I was trying my best to act natural
My dash is black on the top but has the same veneer as yours.
My son seemed to quite like it too!

From what I know Jaguar Racing Green was only introduced for the 4.2 model.
Actually our veneer is different, mine must be maple??
No idea why the steering wheel doesn't match...
Also no nav in mine!
Similar on the outside but not so on the inside.

On my '06 Victory Edition XK*, I had a leather shifter, and steering wheel, Elm dash, and Nav. Personal preference I switched to 3 gauge Walnut dash, walnut steering wheel, and walnut custom shift knob.
I now have an extra leather wrapped steering wheel, Elm dash(nav system) and a extra walnut shob.ift kn. Anyone who can use these, let me know by a PM. I.eap will sell very cheap.

Cup holder often fails. When operational it works better to distribute contents of cup(s) over back seat before hand as that is where contents will end up when under heavy acceleration - this is normal. You can also dump it in your lap or the passengers lap if you plan to turn first. Either action saves a step and comes as less of a surprise.

I swapped out my unusable cupholder for a non-cupholder armrest from an XJ sedan... forget the year. Had it trimmed out when I recovered the seats with a leather kit... not a perfect match but pretty close. So yes, I don't have a cupholder anymore, but in reality, the OEM unit was completely worthless and I never used it for the reasons noted above.

The dash panels are all made from the same tree but the wood on the steering wheel is something else. Seems that regardless of the wood type on the dash the steering wheel wood is always the same and seems closest to walnut in color.
