The Appeal

The X100-generation XKR represents one of the most compelling modern Jaguars ever produced. Combining the elegant lines of the XK8 with a supercharged 4.2-litre V8 producing 390bhp, it delivered genuine grand touring performance wrapped in unmistakably British style. The convertible variant remains highly sought after; a car that flatters its driver on a fast cross-country run just as readily as it does on a relaxed coastal cruise.

This 2005 example is a US-market car that has since been imported to Europe via the Netherlands, with EU duties and VAT settled. It comes with a clean CARFAX report confirming a damage-free past. Finished in Ebony Black with a power-operated convertible hood and a leather-trimmed interior featuring walnut veneer and aluminium accents, this XKR presents well. For those seeking a well-specified supercharged Jaguar convertible with documented history and no remaining import complications, this is one well worth closer inspection.
