The details are discreet but telling: uprated wheels are the real giveaway and, viewed up close, some bespoke badging, that this car is one of the 200 ‘S’ models. The XKR-S was launched, like the E-Type, at the Geneva Motor Show, in this case as the final flourish of a much-loved model. 

Just 200 were made available in a range of bespoke colours. This car is finished in Jaguar Racing Green and looks great with its cream interior and those 20in split rim BBS Perseus alloys. 

It is a low mileage car too, having covered just 61,000 miles. The current keeper acquired it in 2020, reputedly from the wife of a Scottish Laird, and has treated it well, including storing it in a heated garage between uses. 

The service history shows a run of regular attention. The car comes to market with a recent service and a lengthy, advisory-free MOT. Buy it because it is a collectable XKR or simply because any supercharged X100, particularly the 4.2L 6spd cars, are so great to drive.
