The Appeal

The X100-generation XKR Cabriolet occupies a special place in Jaguar's modern lineage. With its supercharged V8 delivering considerably more punch than the standard XK8, the XKR Cabriolet remains one of the most compelling touring convertibles out there, and continues to garner plenty of attention.

This 1998 example comes to us in a handsome green livery with a beige soft top and beige leather interior. Having covered 94,170 kilometres, the car appears to have led a gentle life, and the vendor rates all aspects of its condition - bodywork, paintwork, interior, and mechanicals - very highly.

Originally purchased new in Switzerland and in the current owner's hands since June 2018, it has benefited from garage storage and routine maintenance throughout. It comes to market with a contrôle technique valid to August 2027 and a good service history, ready for its next custodian to enjoy.
