JAGUAR XKR COUPE (1998) – ONE OWNER A unique collector's opportunity
Finding today a 1998 Jaguar XKR Coupé in such condition is a rare, exceptional event. This specimen represents the quintessence of British Grand Tourer, made unique by two decisive factors: it has belonged to a single owner since delivery and features an incredibly low mechanical odometer.

Exclusive History and Provenance
Newly sold from the Jaguar dealership in Como on 13 November 1998, the car was purchased by a prominent entrepreneur from Brescia. Although for tax reasons the car was formally registered to various companies within his group, it remained his personal car for over 25 years.
A crucial detail enhances its technical value: on 30 August 2001, at 60, 000 km, the official Jaguar dealer carried out a full engine replacement due to a mechanical fault.
Since then, the car has covered only 34, 000 km, ensuring mechanical efficiency equal to new. Carefully housed in a garage and later accompanied by another Cabriolet model, the car has seen rare use in recent years, preserving its condition.
Model Features and Equipment
The XKR is the high-performance version of the XK8 series, equipped with the legendary V8 supercharged engine by Eaton.
With limited production (only about 9, 600 units of the first coupé series produced between 1998 and 2002), it is already a classic with guaranteed future appreciation.
• Accessories: Full Options configuration, including every comfort available at the time.
• Documentation: Complete with original owner, maintenance and warranty manuals, kept in the prestigious Jaguar leather booklet holder.
• Originality: Keeps the original 1998 badges and booklets.
