  • Finished in the classic combination of BRG with a Cream leather interior
  • Offered with owner's wallets, handbooks and two service books
  • Just 25,300 miles from new, 3 former keepers and current ownership since 2010

The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the aging XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much-modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance, Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.

First registered in September of 1999, this XKR presents in the classic combination of British Racing Green with a Cream leather interior. Displaying just 25,300 miles from new, with 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C, it has resided in the current ownership since 2010. The XKR benefitted from c.£2,500 of mechanical fettling in 2018 which also included a new fuel pump. A full service was carried out in February of 2023. There are 2 keys present with the XK and amongst the paperwork, there is a collection of old tax discs and invoices. Offered with owner's wallets, handbooks and two service books, there is a collection of old MOT certificates dating back to 2003 at 4,500 miles and a current V5C document. Please note: The registration number in the photographs is not included in the sale.
