The Appeal
The Jaguar XKR took Jaguar into the 2000s with remarkable confidence and a generous dose of nostalgia - combining supercharged performance with luxurious comfort in a stunning package that echoed the golden age of the marque - as well as a little of the fabled XJ220. This 4.0-litre supercharged model delivered exhilarating performance that could rival contemporary supercars, while maintaining Jaguar's reputation for refined, long-distance cruising.
This particular example stands out for its remarkably low mileage of just 17,801 miles, which is reflected in its overall condition. The vehicle was featured in Classic Cars magazine approximately seven years ago. With just three former registered keepers and a documented service history primarily with Jaguar main dealers, this XKR represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of what may be considered the last of the traditional petrol-powered Jaguar tourers.
