The Appeal

The Jaguar XKR Convertible is a luxurious high-performance grand tourer, featuring a 4.0-litre supercharged V8 engine that produces 370bhp and 387lb-ft of torque. Distinguished by its mesh front grille, bonnet louvres and rear spoiler, this British convertible utilises a five-speed automatic gearbox and a sophisticated suspension setup to deliver a blend of fast-paced performance and grand touring comfort.

This 2002 example carries a provenance that sets it apart from the majority of surviving cars. During its time in Japan, it was used as a weekend car by a single registered keeper. Japanese roads are famously free from the salt that corrodes so many European and British examples, and the vendor reports that both the bodywork and chassis have benefited considerably as a result. It is noted to have a documented service history spanning eleven recorded entries from 2003 through to 2023, demonstrating consistent care across two decades of ownership.

Recently imported to Europe with customs duties and VAT already settled, this XKR convertible is ready to be registered and enjoyed out on the open road.
