That police car thing is true. I just bought a copy of Nigel Thorley's "Jaguar XJ: the complete companion." Has several photos of British XJ "Police Specification" Series IIs. Very stripped-down interiors, rubber rather than Wilton carpet, plastic vs. veneer.
The book was published in '91; said more than 20 UK police agencies drove XJs, and several were switching from Series IIIs to XJ40s.
Speaking of Jag books, does anyone have a recommendation for a repair manual, other than the $180 one from Jag? I have a Haynes, but it's mostly for Series I and II. I'm waiting for my first Jag to arrive; it's an '86 Vanden Plas I bought on eBay for $950.

Buy the Jag manual, high as the price seems, it is worth it. I got mine off Ebay for $99, and it is far better than the Haynes I have. Of course this is for my '74 XJ12, so the 6 may be different.
