H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description:
The sleek-looking Jaguar XKR first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. This 4. 2 litre automatic example was imported new to Japan from the UK in 1999 by the HanYuu Auto Co Ltd, Ota, Japan ( they are still JLR main dealers). Imported from the car-friendly climate of Japan in 2019, this pristine XKR has just one previous keeper in Japan and one recorded owner, the vendor, in the UK.
Finished in Topaz Metallic, the interior has complementing Cream leather with ‘wood trim’ features, heated seats, air conditioning and a Kenwood DAB radio unit. The original Jaguar FM/ AM/ LW radio comes with the car. Displaying just 45, 791 km; equating to a very low c. 28, 500 miles. The binnacle dial face has been changed to a UK dial face and now reads MPH. The miles covered are still displayed electronically in kilometres on the odometer and matches MOT history where mileages have mostly been recorded in KM. The Japanese Export Certificate, supplied with the car, shows the km covered as 38, 300 km ( 23, 800 miles) at the time of export.
‘VKE’ was last serviced in 2020, at 26, 755 miles , by N & S Auto Services, Independent Jaguar Specialists of Wakefield, benefiting from an oil change, water pump. new timing chains with new guides plus the vendor has replaced rear suspension bushes, brake fluid automatic gearbox and differential oils. This a totally rust free example. The paintwork and pristine wheel arches and underside bear witness to it’s salt free Japanese history and dry storage whilst in the UK. With an MOT into September of 2023, the XKR is offered with the owner’s wallet, handbook and service book, two keys a collection of invoices and the V5C.
