Welcome Ben
I can sympathise with the missing leaper - I've had mine knocked off, as
have many others in the list. They are readily available from any Jag
parts store (not sure where you are so I can't be any more helpful than
that). I paid $50 AUD for mine - about $35US.

I have an '84 XJ6 Australian release (same as UK pretty much) so it may
be different for you, but mine originally had an amplifier mounted in
the centre console - it's a bit tough to get to. I left mine there when
I upgraded the sound system, too hard. The original system on mine was
4ch by 25 watt. The speakers were high quality rubber mounted cones,
they were still in good nick after 12 years and are still there.


Lastly I must strongly disagree with William Noorloos who suggested:

I left mine off for a couple of months while I debated whether to
replace it, IMHO it looks much better with it on.
