Highlights

Fantastic supercharged V8 engine
Meticulously maintained by the current owner since 2014
Looks fantastic in burgundy

The Appeal

The XKR is something a bit special in the Jaguar lineup, with its 4.0l supercharged engine and XJS floor pan it offers the performance of a sports car, yet has the elegance and refinement of a luxury GT suitable for the most discerning of motorists.

This XKR is finished in Burgundy, looks fantastic and goes even better! With a full set of service stamps, this is a car that has wanted for nothing and it’s reflected in the condition of the car, which is good throughout.This XKR has been under the same careful ownership since 2014 and was previously owned by the late Denis Welch. If you’re looking for a car that provides an exceptional level of luxury and style, but that can also kick out the back end on a corner (and who isn’t?) then this is the car for you.
