Jaguar XJ8 Interior

While the exterior of the car is beautiful, it's inside that you really get a sense of the attention to detail.  Burled walnut, soft leather seats, and a tidy centre console create a relaxed and stylish atmosphere.  You immediately recognize the character behind the trim of this Jaguar and unlike many other vehicles, you aren't overwhelmed by a sea of plastic.  

This spring I made the effort to refurbish and detail much of the interior, from cleaning out the vents to cleaning the carpets.  Since buying the vehicle I've added a custom gear shift knob hand-made out of walnut and used a specialty kit to restore my leather seats.  As of yesterday my XJ8 also has a brand new windshield.

Given that she's already twelve years old, I'd say her interior is holding up pretty well.  With a premium stereo, seats that that practically hug you, air conditioning that puts my refrigerator to shame, and a multi-positioning sunroof, this is going to be another great summer of cruising.
