This is a special Jaguar. It belonged to a gentleman who ran a
prestigous and respected classic Jaguar restoration business XK
Engineering, restoring E Types and vintage Jaguars to concours
condition. This was his personal XKR that we aquired from his
estate. Needless to say the car is sublime both in appearance
and mechanically. If ever there was an example to stick away in
your garage, this is the one right here.
The finish on this XKR is more or less as new. Take some time to
examine the detailed close up pictures below. There are no marks
whatsoever, any marks you may see is simply dust or a
refelection.
Finished in British Racing Green, the paint is simply stunning,
not a chip, scratch, blister, mark or swirl anywhere on the body
of this car and in every nook and crannie, it's perfect. This is
not photoshop or trick photography, it really looks this way,
there is a video too, can't fake that.
Unrepeatable.
The XKR
The fastest selling sports car in Jaguars history, eclipsing
luminaries like
the XK120 and the E-Type. The XK is beautiful & fast. Big cats
flow like
dark liquid in moonlight, and so do the lines of an XK. You can
buy other
luxury touring coupes with similar performance, but you won't
find another
that looks anything like this. And that, really, is the point of
any Jaguar. If
you are charmed by its looks, then there is no alternative.
Jaguar can do no wrong, the engine being a case in point. 0-60 5
secs en route to a limited 155 mph. Demonstrates perfect power
to weight ration with superb balance landing it firmly on
its feet. The 4.0-liter V8 with a supercharger strapped on
produces an unruffled 370 bhp, coupled to a seamless a
five-speed automatic transmission. Driving the XK along twisty
roads is wonderful. The steering is very precise and provides
good feel at speed. At the same time, the steering remains light
to the touch at low speeds, making driving around town and in
parking lots a bit easier. Handling is firm without being too
harsh.
Superb in all respects with no outstanding issues and the
service records are consistent. It has clearly been maintained
to the highest level with a commitment that is impressive for an
early car.
It's clear that as used XKRs go it can be a minefield trying to
source one that will give you joy, you could spend a good chunk
more than this car will cost you and get a whole lot less of a
car.
Minor age related wear to the driver bolster,
little to no sag in the headcloth, all is lovely and fresh.
Perfectly adequate, even if you are a Prince.
Summary
Jaguar's XK makes a statement when it rolls onto the scene,
considering when the flowing lines and angles were penned, like
the E type it was many years ahead of its time. It remains one
of the prettiest cars on the road and driving it is a hugely
satisfying experience. We are confident there will not be a
better looking XKR on the market.
Simply could not be in any better condition, there is no work
here for anyone, body or mechanically.
