Sleek midnight black exterior with silver split rim alloy wheels
Cream interior with minor scuffs to be professionally cleaned
Main Jaguar service history until 2013, thereafter serviced by specialist garages
The Appeal
The XKR was first introduced in 1998, as the high-performance variant of the already impressive XK8- and for many, may well be one of the finest of Coventry's millenium-era repertoire. Offering an upgraded AJ34 V8 powerplant over its predecessor, the car maintained its nostalgic, disciplined design, and a cabin loaded with luxury and comfort.
This particular car boasts an impressively low odometer reading of only 26,872 miles, and its condition reflects that beautifully. There are only the gentlest signs of wear, and everything looks in fine fettle. The car has been serviced by Jaguar main dealers until 2013, and thereafter by specialist garages, ensuring it has been maintained to the highest standards.
