The Appeal
It's still one of the best-looking cars of the 21st century - and with a 4.2-litre V8 married to a 6-speed automatic transmission, they're fast on their feet, too. Oh yes, it's little surprise we're still in love with the ever-legendary XKR. Of the entire lineage, though, the 4.2-S - with its distinctive white chequered-flag badge - is the pick of the crop.
This example has covered 29,400 miles and benefits from a particularly careful ownership history. The second registered keeper, a Jaguar engineer by profession, purchased the car in 2007 at 21,000 miles and dry stored it for the duration of his 16-year custodianship, adding only around 4,000 miles. He carried out all servicing himself.
The current keeper acquired the car in 2023 and has since invested approximately £7,000 in upgrades, including a Paramount Performance Stage 2 package with a stainless steel exhaust system, and a bespoke Infonav infotainment system with subwoofer and high-quality hi-fi. It has recently been serviced and holds an MOT valid until July 2027.image.png1.51 MB
