Jaguar automobile history and database -large sedans color chart

The Jaguar Database

Jaguar paint and interior colors - The large sedans Note No two reference books completely agree on which colors various models were finished in, and during which time period. We've done our best to compile the available information into a useful reference format. The situation is further complicated by Jaguar's policy of making non-standard interior and exterior color combinations available at extra cost for most if not all models. We welcome your feedback on this page if you have definitive information about this subject!
