Description
If you’re looking for a well-cared-for Jaguar XKR (X100 generation) that’s both exhilarating to drive and a stunning future classic, this is the one. Finished in beautiful Silver Metallic, this supercharged 4. 2L V8 grand tourer delivers an effortless blend of power, luxury, and style.
Exterior Condition
The silver paintwork presents very well for its age, with a deep shine and no major dents or scratches. There are some minor age-related marks, but nothing that detracts from its stunning presence. The original alloy wheels are in good condition, and are fitted with good tires all around.
Interior Condition
The interior is finished in black leather, which remains in very good condition. The wood veneer trim is still glossy, and all buttons, dials, and switches function as they should. The headlining is secure, and the carpets and trim are well-kept.
Mechanical & Driving Experience
This XKR is powered by the 4. 2L Supercharged V8, producing 400BHP and delivering effortless acceleration. The 6-speed automatic gearbox shifts smoothly, with paddle-shift functionality for a more engaging drive.
✅ Recent Work & Maintenance:
The car only covered 17, 000 miles over the past decade, it has undergone intermittent servicing due to the lack of use during this period. In the past 12 months it has had a new lower Pulley with Auxillary and Supercharger belts. This is more than just a Jaguar XKR—it's a car with a personal story. I had the privilege of helping to build this very model at the Browns Lane factory in 2002-2003, and from the moment I worked on it, I knew that one day, I had to own one. The Silver Metallic paint, Black Leather interior, and Birds Eye Maple wood trim made for the perfect spec in my eyes, and when I found this example, I knew it was the one.
A Jaguar with a Story
Owning this XKR has been a dream come true, and I have cherished every drive. The supercharged 4. 2L V8 delivers effortless power, the ride is smooth yet responsive, and the car remains an absolute joy to drive. Whether cruising on the motorway or powering through winding roads, it offers a perfect blend of luxury and performance—exactly what Jaguar intended.

Iconic Grand Tourer – A blend of British craftsmanship, V8 power, and timeless design.
Luxurious Interior – Finished in my dream spec: Black Leather with Birds Eye Maple trim.
Supercharged Power – The 400BHP 4. 2L V8 and smooth automatic transmission make every drive exhilarating.
Well-Maintained – This car has been looked after with care, ensuring it remains in top condition.
Condition & Maintenance
