The Appeal

The XLR was Cadillac’s take on the R230, but with a typically American twist - a big, rumbly 4.6L ‘Northstar’ V8. Together with the chiselled styling, created under the tutelage of GM design supremo Wayne Cherry, it gives buyers a rare and perhaps more charismatic alternative to its German rival.

This XLR is classically finished in silver with black leather and dark wood veneers. It is a tidy and usable example that features the clever folding hardtop pioneered by Mercedes, enabling it to be a coupe or convertible depending on the weather. The car has reportedly been serviced by Cadillac 32 times, with details provided below, and comes to market with a USA title and Dutch duties paid.
