The Appeal
Japan is a bit of a treasure trove for fabulous British cars. Thanks to the lack of salt on their roads, there's a steady flow of classics returning to the UK in remarkable order, offering a great opportunity for enthusiasts. Jaguar is particularly well-presented in these line ups, and this XKR is no exception.
A fabulous example of Jaguar's legendary grand tourer, this car has been maintained very well - evidenced by a full Japanese service history. Since arriving in the UK in 2015, it's had three keepers and still appears in fine order - having been used sparingly and kept in fine fettle by every keeper.
