Highlights

In current ownership for fifteen years and garaged throughout
Only two registered keepers from new
Full service history
Recently refurbished wheels with new tyres

The Appeal

While its svelte, subtle styling gives little away, the presence of an 'XKR' boot badge signals that the car you're looking at is a special thing indeed. Adding a supercharger means that the XKR significantly outperforms the XK8 with its 370 hp V8 versus the XK8's naturally aspirated 290 hp engine.

This 2000 example has been in the same ownership for the past fifteen years and has been well-maintained throughout this period. With only two registered keepers from new, a full service history, and having been kept garaged by the current owner, this XJR offers an appealing combination of care and provenance that's increasingly difficult to find in these modern classic performance GTs.
