When I was looking for my XJ a couple years ago I came across numerous 2000 and 2001 XJ Limiteds that had almost no options. Such as the Limited Trim level only no leather, no Overhead Console, NP231 instead of NP242, donut instead of full-size spare, no chrome pieces, and even no tinted glass. I also came across several variations of NP242 and leather but no chrome, or just a power driver's seat, etc etc. I really doubt that all the Limiteds came decked out with every option. For example, my 2000 Ltd has the chrome package, D30/D35 w/ ABS, Overhead Console, Leather package w/o heated seats, Cruise, NP242, Full-Size Spare, Tinted rear glass, NO Tow Package, NO power passenger seat, NO heated seats.
I don't know why they didn't make certain options standard for the Limiteds like they do now. I mean you could've gotten the Limited just for the paint combination so you had no rubber at all on you XJ, but had a Sport interior.
