THE APPEAL
The Jaguar XKR was initially launched in 1996 to replace the tiring XJS; like a breath of fresh air, the model was a welcomed addition to the Jaguar range, especially the XKR model with its 4.0 litre supercharged V8.
This is a wonderful example of one of Jaguar’s best grand tourers. 2+2 with full leather, being the more desirable supercharged version. The Jaguar XKR is an appreciating classic. This particular one has covered only 57,159 miles, backed up with MOT history and 15 service stamps, making it a great buy for anyone looking for the supercharged Jaguar experience.
