Excellent Condition 2005 Jaguar XKR-S Victory Edition

Excellent Condition 2005 ‘Victory Edition’ Jaguar 4. 2L V8 Supercharged XKR-S in Bay Blue with Full Service History.

Of the 1, 119 Victory Edition XKs and XKRs made globally (1, 050 in North America), this example is one of only 67 Supercharged XKR Victory Edition Coupe variants made, with sadly very few left in existence in the UK. This particularly rare model is in fantastic condition in all respects; interior, exterior and mechanical and electrical aspects. The BBS wheels are in immaculate condition, and are fitted with protective outer rim strips to preserve the integrity of the alloy wheels.

The car has had new headlining installed and the leather seats and trim have all been cleaned, maintained and treated with Jaguar cleaner.

All three keys (two standard and one green valet key) are present, in addition to the original tire inflation adapter specific to the BBS wheels (in the original pouch).

The car has an MOT until June 2025 and in addition to the regular maintenance and investment in the vehicle (all documented in a folder compiled for the new owner), I have invested £2, 000 through Jaguar Specialist NDG to upgrade the following:
- 2 x oxygen sensors
- ABS wheel-speed sensor and trigger wheel
- Coolant reservoir with float sensor
- New car battery
- Suspension bushes
- Tie rods
- Lower ball joint and lower arm
- ARB links
- Wheel alignment

The paintwork is in great condition overall, with a couple of paint chips and hairline surface marks typical for the car’s age. The rubber strips alongside the weatherstripping on the door work as intended, although they may wish to be replaced within the next two years. All seals around the doors, windows, windscreen and rear glass are in excellent condition.

The car is equipped with a factory immobiliser and alarm, which also works as intended (tested and working). The multidirectional electrically adjustable seats all work as intended, including the headrests and auto retract/ extend feature. The steering wheel is also electrically operated, where the auto retract/ extend feature works as intended for easy access and departure from the car. The ‘Victory Edition’ was one of the final variations of the Jaguar XKR-S X100 generation. Launched to commemorate Jaguar’s four championship wins in the North American Trans-Am road racing series and add to a successful lineage of special and limited edition XKs and XKRs introduced since its launch.

This rare example is stock from the factory with no modifications, complete with all extras, including:
- New grille design and new ZF 6HP26 6 speed automatic transmission
Unique Elm Wood veneer combination with cream leather interior with Bay Blue paint
- Jaguar floor mats
- Bluetooth (compatible with current mobile phones)
- Electric folding wing mirrors (both retract/ extend, and the passenger side automatically dips when reversing)
- Cruise control
- Air Conditioning
- Heated seats
- 6 CD autochanger with premium Alpine sound system and subwoofer
- Satellite navigation with Maps DVD
- Cross-drilled Brembo brakes and 20 inch BBS wheels
- Victory Edition chequered flag white bonnet badge, wheel caps
- Steel chequered flag tread plates

The car also comes with the framed Jaguar Heritage Certificate commemorating its status, in addition to the original media/ press pack for the car, and all original manuals and guides supplied with the vehicle in the leather bound folder. The car also comes with two original Jaguar branded car covers (indoor and outdoor).

I bought this specific model for its heritage, unique characteristics and standing, the engine and the level of comfort is outstanding. I was commuting three times a week in ease, and the car is fun, effortless, a head turner and refined. Being fully stocked with all extras, the car is perfectly equipped for driving in 2024 as it was in 2005.

Due to a change in work environment where I travel a lot outside of the UK and with my daughter growing up, I sadly could do with something slightly more practical and economical hence the reason for sale. The car has averaged just 6, 000 miles per annum in its 20 year history and has been kept in its OEM Jaguar storm cover when not in use. Both the OEM indoor and outdoor covers come with the vehicle.
