Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded / riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a supercharged 4.2 litre V8 engine developing some 420bhp and 413lbft of torque, the range-topping XKR variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 155mph (limited). The standard fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).

The XKR Convertible offered here was delivered new in June 2008. Finished in deep Black paintwork with a Black leather it is complemented by a black mohair hood. Acquired by its current lady owner as a daily driver in April 2016, the car has been regularly maintained as evidenced by stamps in the service book. With only three previous owners and 82,632 recorded miles at its last MOT inspection, the XKR now shows approximately 83,000 miles from new and is said by the vendor to drive very well. Offered with an owner’s pack, including the owner’s handbook and the service booklet together with a current V5 and a collection of old MOTs, this Jaguar Convertible offers a stylish and rapid open-top mode of transport for the upcoming spring and summer months.
