The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJ-S. Two body styles were produced, a coupé and a convertible and the car was the first in the Jaguar line-up to use Jaguar's newly developed V8 engine. In 2000, the supercharged XKR was added to the range. This produced a staggering 503 horsepower, a subtle rear spoiler, wire mesh front grille and red exterior emblems were identifying features. The XKR's engine was made in England, the ignition system was from NGK in Japan, the transmission was a Mercedes-Benz 722.6, the lighting system was by Valeo in France and the supercharger was made by Eaton in the USA, it was truly a world car.
The redesigned XK was styled by Jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum. The standard XK model has a limited top speed of 158mph whilst the XKR had a limited top speed of 174mph.
Our vendor purchased this XKR brand new in 2007 and has remained its sole private keeper since then, using the car very infrequently and cherishing the car for the past 17 years. The car has covered just 2,251 miles from new and as such, presents in absolutely super order throughout, effectively ‘as new’. The car has always been garaged from new and we are told it has never once been driven in the rain. We are told a service has been carried out every year regardless of mileage, but there are no records to verify this.
This car should appeal to collectors of the very best examples, or to an enthusiast who wants an ‘as new’ XKR to use and enjoy as if it had just left the dealership back in 2007. The car is offered entirely without reserve and is supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, showing zero former keepers, an MoT test certificate valid until December 2024 and all owners books and manuals that came with the car.
