The Appeal
The X100 was the ultimate development of the Jaguar mythos - a smart, beautifully trimmed, agile grand tourer that was packed with equal levels of innovation and nostalgia. It was the natural return to the marque's glory days, shedding some level of their increasingly old-fashioned image and leaping into 21st-century futurism.
The supercharged 4.2-litre V8 XKR is the best of its generation, effortlessly melding grand touring refinement and serious performance through its six-speed automatic gearbox. Finished in the rare "Radiance" colour scheme, this particular 2003 car is a real standout.
This beautiful XKR was purchased by the current owner directly from the original keeper in 2004 and has been in their care for some 22 years. It has been dry stored in a heated garage for the vast majority of its life. After standing unused between 2014 and 2023, the car was fully recommissioned with a major service and four new Dunlop SP Sport tyres in 2023/2024.
It's a remarkable example of a much-loved modern classic, and we'd wager stands out as one of the best you're likely to come across.image.png1.11 MB
