The Appeal
For its last big 2+2 Jaguar pulled out the stops. Combining a sleek, handsome profile - containing neat references to the E-Type - with lightweight, advanced aluminium construction delivered a car that was more engaging and nimble than its predecessor without sacrificing the Jaguar-esque qualities that made the XK8 so success.
Subtly finished in a desirable black over ivory colour scheme, this low mileage 4.2 XKR is a particularly well kept example. Recently imported from salt-free Japan and with enhanced Portfolio specification, it is also usefully ULEZ compliant.
