The Appeal
The jet-like Jaguar XJR was a pivotal car for the brand, first seen in 1997, the installation of a V8 Supercharged engine placed it into the realms of high-speed luxury travel, capable of demolishing a slew of supercars in the process. The XJR also marked a positive turning point for the brand, as the reliability and quality of the XJR were up there with the best.
The Jaguar XJR is gifted with massive torque and is extraordinary fast for its weight. Its graceful styling hides the potential within - with 370 horses available, the power is complemented by its poise in balance and handling. Finished in Metallic black, this 1999 car has been pampered throughout its life, with a pleasing amount of servicing history and mechanical attention.

Summary
Previous owners have truly cherished this example, with a good record of maintenance and servicing. The XJR successfully proved that there is an appealing balance of traditional old-skool charm and decadence, with devastating performance and build quality. There cannot be a more obtainable way of owning a supercharged V8 saloon that can accommodate four adults in comfort with complete refinement. That combination of power, style and comfort is difficult to beat at this level.

Auto-bidding increments

- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
