A really lovely XKR, with low mileage and great history, coming from a Marque expert. With the X100 Jaguar proved they could still build a brilliant GT car, and a good one, provides one of the best long distance tourers around. With less than 57,000 miles and having been regularly serviced, this is one of them. Vehicle Story:- Jaguar coupés have been highly desirable since the XK120 was unveiled at the 1948 London Motor Show. Today, one of those could cost you in excess of £300,000, so for lesser mortals a slightly later model makes more financial sense. Passing through the E Type and XJ-S, we arrive in the mid 1990s, with the XK8. For those never fully convinced of the worth of the XJ-S (we’re not in this group) the new coupé was a return to form for the Coventry company. Launched in 1996 the XK8 was available as a convertible and, of course, a coupé. At the heart of the sleek new model was the also new Jaguar AJ V8 engine, a quad-cam 32-valve all alloy unit of 4-litres. The XK8 was joined by a more powerful XKR in 1998, which featured a supercharged version of the V8 engine, now rated at 370bhp. The engine was shared with the XJR saloon but featured a new intercooler and a two-piece driveshaft. The Eaton supercharger displaced 2-litres and generated nearly 12 pounds of boost pressure to contribute to the higher power output. Visual differences from the XK8 included a rear spoiler, mesh front grille and louvres on the bonnet for improved airflow to the engine. The XK8 came standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, while 18-inch (standard on the XKR), 19-inch, and 20-inch wheels were available for the XK8 and XKR at an additional cost. Jaguar's Adaptive Cruise Control was an optional feature available on both models, but all came with a leather interior, burl walnut trim, and side airbags. Alcantara seat panels were optional. The XK range received a mechanical update in 2002 with the engines in both the XK8 and XKR models being enlarged to 4.2-litres and gaining more power. Initially, a ZF 5HP-24 five-speed automatic transmission was coupled to the naturally aspirated 4-litre model and a Mercedes W5A580 five-speed transmission to the supercharged version, but in 2002 the new ZF 6HP-26 six-speed automatic transmission was fitted to both versions of the 4.2-litre model. For 2005, the supercharged coupé received a few mild refinements, but overall it's the same sexy beast capable of sprinting from zero to 60mph in only 5.2 seconds. That's a surprisingly rapid turn of pace considering the XKR's heft (1753Kg) and overall dimensions. Vehicle Overview:- This 2001 Jaguar XKR 4-litre Supercharged Convertible is ULEZ (Ultra Low Emissions Zone) compliant across all UK cities, so you don’t need to worry about paying any charges to enjoy driving it. Not only that, but it’s only covered 58,000 miles from new, and is in beautiful condition. 58k miles. Titanium Pearl exterior paint with Charcoal leather trim. No rust and all original panels, with no signs of any paint repairs. Current owner 11 years. Three previous owners. Exterior 20in BBS Split rim wheels. Rear Boot spoiler. Front fog lamps. Parking sensors. Super Sports suspension. CATS Adaptive damping. Headlamps power wash. Pirelli tyres all round. Colour choice is obviously subjective, but it’s hard not to love this shade of what Jaguar call Titanium Pearl – a dark grey metallic finish that suits the slippery shape beautifully. It’s in fabulous condition too – we struggled to find any faults with it, and it’s just been through a four stage polish and ceramic sealant process, so gleams with a deep lustre. All the bodywork’s shutlines and panel gaps look tip top, which backs up the seller’s claim that the car has never had any panels replaced. The very desirable 20 inch BBS split rim alloy wheels – top of the option range when the car was new – are in superb condition and play home to a set of matching Pirelli tyres with a decent
