The production model EL GTs were available in just 3 main body colours,[19] with the associated production numbers and GT build numbers listed below (where we’ve been able to confirm those). The GT's body kit was also finished with grey accents on the lower front bumper splitter and front side-skirt sections, however, we have not yet been able to confirm the paint code for that grey colour.

Pre-production GT colours:[21]
Pre-production GT vehicles were finished in the same colours as the production GTs, with the exception of one pre-production / mule car, painted silver (believed to be Argon Silver, paint code D7). It is believed that this silver car was used for the development of the EL GT body kit, and the vehicle appears in several early production photographs, in addition to having been sighted at several car shows as noted by enthusiasts on Ford forums. Although possibly a replica, a silver EL GT was sold some years ago through Ford Muscle Car Sales.

This super-rare Jaguar S Type R was advertised on Ebay Australia asking $20,000 AUD. These things have a 298Kw Supercharged 4.2 liter V8, and at the time of production this was the fastest car manufactured by Jaguar. Standard equipment includes 4 wheel Bembro 4 piston disc brakes with massive Disc rotors and stiffer sports suspension than the standard S Types. Front seats are fully electric adjustable with 2 memory settings and heated. Both the steering wheel and the peddle assembly are also fully electric adjustable. The car is in near mint condition inside and out, no expense has been spared keeping this beauty maintained.
This example is finished in a great blue colour, and had a full Service history at the time of advertising. Always liked these - I think it's the first one on the register. See the original listing here on Ebay Australia..
