The Appeal

The XKR Convertible sits at the top of Jaguar's XK8 range, its Eaton supercharger lifting the 4.0-litre V8 to 370 bhp and delivering a compelling blend of grand touring refinement and real performance. With its power-operated lined hood and elegant proportions, the convertible is widely regarded as the most desirable configuration in the line-up.

This Phoenix Red example was first delivered in Vero Beach, Florida in November 2000 with just 29 miles recorded, before spending the remainder of its life in the warm, dry climate of Southern California. It has been in the care of a single registered keeper throughout, covering 108,435 miles over more than 25 years of ownership. The Carfax report confirms a clean, damage-free history, and the car comes with its original window sticker showing a retail price of $90,550 when new.

The service file is well documented, with maintenance records from the earliest days through to early 2026, when a pre-delivery inspection, oil and filter change, emissions test, and full detail were carried out at 108,400 miles. Now imported into the Netherlands with EU duties and VAT settled, this one-keeper XKR Convertible is ready for its next chapter. The seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping.
