Special Edition created for Stratstone Dealer Group
Number 11 of 50 made
508bhp 5.0-litre supercharged V8
Unique-to-the-model grille and wheels
THE APPEAL
With its thumping 5.0-litre supercharged V8 and its sensational handling, the Jaguar XF R is a pretty special car at the best of times. But in 2010, the Stratstone dealer group – one of the brand’s most prolific retailers – commissioned a limited run of 50 limited edition cars that took it to the next level.
The XF R Stratstone Le Mans edition was offered in either Midnight Black or Polaris White, and £5,000 from the sale of each car was donated to the Royal British Legion. Each one came with a numbered plaque on the door shuts and a unique Le Mans Edition gear selector, along with gloss black 20-inch alloys, a different grille and bonnet inserts.
This one is number 11 of 50 – a two owner car that is being sold by the independent Jaguar specialist that has maintained it for the past few years. It’s a smart and well-maintained example and a great opportunity to acquire a very rare modern classic, complete with 500bhp+ performance.
