2004 Jaguar XJR 4. 2 V8 Supercharged – Rare Diplomatic Spec | 45, 000 Miles | Collector Quality
An extremely rare and beautifully preserved example of the iconic XJR 4. 2 Supercharged, with just 45, 000 miles (72, 000km).
This car is not your average XJR — it was originally a Japanese ambassadorial vehicle, maintained to the highest standards and boasting an ultra-rare specification you’ll struggle to find again. Originally a Japanese ambassadorial vehicle, it’s been cared for to an extraordinary standard — and being a Japanese import, it’s completely rust-free, with an underside that would put most showroom cars to shame.
What makes it stand out is the rare and luxurious factory specification, featuring options that are virtually never found on a short-wheelbase XJR. You’ll find things like:
• Electric rear blinds
• Birdseye maple wood veneer
• Rear seat entertainment controller
• Very rare sunroof
• Chrome Van Plas exterior accents
• Original diplomatic key presentation box with both key rings
It’s also got all the usual XJR refinements: heated front and rear seats, electric memory seats, sat nav, cruise control, CD changer, and more — all working exactly as they should.
The bodywork is exceptional, the interior is clean and original, and it drives like a car with half its mileage. Everything feels tight, powerful, and refined — exactly what you’d expect from a supercharged Jaguar V8 in its prime.
I’m only selling because I simply don’t get the chance to drive it enough. This isn’t just a car — it’s a collector-grade piece of Jaguar history, with all the hallmarks of future classic appreciation.
If you’re looking for a mint-condition, low-mileage XJR with a unique spec, original documentation, and a genuinely interesting backstory — this is the one.
There is a slight judder through the brake pedal due to a slightly warped disc - common for an XJR & the car is priced to reflect this.
A full set of brand new Pagid (OEM) discs & pads are £270.
For an additional £400 I’d be happy to have the work done before the sale.
Open to part exchanges at or around trade price.
