Highlights
- Supercharged 4-litre V8 engine
- MOT to November 2023
- Limited ‘Silverstone’ edition
The Appeal
The Jaguar XKR is a supercharged V8 monster which produces 370 bhp, which catapults the car past 60 mph in a mere 5.3 seconds. And the Silverstone edition was a limited run of just 100 cars, 50 convertibles and 50 coupés to celebrate Jaguar’s return to competition. Original owners were invited to Silverstone circuit to watch Jaguar’s Formula 1 drivers making their preparations for competition.
This particular XKR is presented in very smart condition. The bodywork and paint appears to be very well preserved. The leather upholstery is well preserved, with only minor creasing, and the carpets are clean and tidy. Beautifully figured veneer swathes the dashboard and gives this Jaguar the feeling of luxury.
The accompanying documentation includes a well stamped service booklet and the car comes with a recently passed MOT.
