Description

The Appeal

The XKR is the ultimate derivative of the original Jaguar ‘X100’ XK8 sports car, with incredible performance, a shrieking supercharger, gorgeous looks and a wonderfully balanced chassis.

Launched in 1996, the model was the flagship of the range, initially with 370bhp from its 4. 0-litre V8 engine, with the engine later increased in size to 4. 2-litres and the power upped to 400bhp.

This example is one such car – indeed, it’s one of the very late - and it’s an absolute stunner – a genuine low mileage car in rare and desirable Midnight Black Metallic, with a very rare Ivory and Oatmeal interior interior with light maple veneers. It also comes with smart Montreal 20-inch alloy wheels, as found on the XKR 100 centenary models.

Of particular appeal to any potential buyer will be the list of added options and upgrades to the car, which include an XKR Premium Pack consisting of aluminium gear surround, pedals and cluster bezels, reverse parking sensors, heated front and rear windscreen, sports steering wheel and Momo gear knob. The brakes were also given an upgrade to Brembo cross-drilled discs, pads and calipers. R-performance options were also added, upgrading the wheels to split-rim 20-inch BBS Montreals, the soft-grain leather Recaro seats were given heaters, and a 10-way adjustable control.

The suspension was also upgraded to the computer controlled CATS system with revised damper settings, uprated springs and anti-roll bar, leading to a slightly lower ride height.

A Technology Pack was also specified, giving the car factory-fitted satellite navigation, an improved Jaguar Alpine sound system with Bluetooth hands-free and a six-CD multichanger, plus radar controlled Adaptive Cruise Control.

It’s a hugely desirable example of a superb British sports car in lovely, low mileage condition inside and out. Add in the scintillating performance on offer, the rare interior colour scheme and the terrific combination of comfort and performance and you have one of the best modern classic grand tourers that money can buy. It’s a lovely thing, and in great condition throughout.
