2001 Jaguar XKR

The first XKR arrived in 1998 to a rapturous reception from the motoring press, and stayed in production for longer than any R-badged car to date. At launch it was the fastest accelerating standard production Jaguar ever made, and the fastest car on sale with an automatic gearbox. It used the same 370bhp, 4. 0 litre supercharged Jaguar AJV8 as the XJR saloon, and like the saloon kept the visual clues to its performance subtle: bonnet louvres for better cooling, red badges bearing the 'supercharged' script, one inch bigger wheels and a tiny lip spoiler at the rear. This particular car is a 2001 XKR Coupe in Pacific Blue with Ivory leather interior. It also features the optional 20” BBS “Detroit” split-rim alloy wheels. Supplied new by Lancaster Jaguar in Sevenoaks it has had just three owners since. The car has covered less than twenty six thousand miles, and has a fabulous service history, the original Jaguar service book filled with stamps from Jaguar main dealers. Prepared for sale by Jaguar Classic, the car will be supplied with 12 months warranty and breakdown cover for its new owner.
