Highlights

Only 67,021 miles from new, corroborated by MOT history
Cherished X321 XKR personalized plate included in the sale
Fresh MOT valid until October 2027 with no advisories
Stored since 2022 with only approximately 146 miles added by the current owner

The Appeal

The supercharged XKR Convertible sits at the top of Jaguar's XK range from this era, pairing a 395 hp supercharged V8 with one of the most elegant open-top grand tourers of its generation. Finding an R model with genuinely low mileage and a well-documented history is no easy task, as so many have been driven hard or neglected over the years.

This example, finished in Platinum Metallic with a black soft top and Warm Charcoal leather interior with walnut inlays, has covered only around 67,021 miles, a figure supported by a run of MOT certificates from 2010. Its history file contains a service book with 15 stamps, many from Westovers in Poole, along with a stack of invoices detailing work carried out over the years.

Purchased by the current owner in 2022 as part of a private collection, it has been in storage since and has added a mere 146 miles. It presents well throughout, and the seller notes that the paint is in notably good condition for the age, while the interior shows only light signs of use. The roof mechanism operates correctly following a hydraulic system replacement in 2019, and it sits on the optional 20-inch BBS split-rim alloy wheels with Jaguar Red R brake calipers visible behind them. The seller recommends a service based on time elapsed since the last one in 2021, but reports that the car starts readily and sounds healthy. With the cherished X321 XKR plate included, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-kept supercharged Jaguar convertible.
