Introduction

An exquisite balance of grace, speed and refinement - the Jaguar XKR.
As one of the finest open top cars on the market, the XKR belonged to a new series of premium Jaguars. Fitted with the all-new AJ-V8 engines, it also featured a new aluminium monocoque chassis and construction. The Supercharged XKR is distinguished by its four-way dual exhausts, redesigned front bumper, hood louvres for improved engine airflow and R motifs. Longer, wider yet lighter than the previous generation, the X150 series of XKR was noted for its shift away from the traditional image of Jaguar and firmly placed the model into the modern age.
A facelift in 2009 brought along a new 5.0-litre V8 engine with a rotary gear selector mated to the new ZF automatic transmission. With over 500 bhp, the car offered storming performance, with the refinement and quality expected of the Jaguar brand. Considered an engaging drive, it is also noted for its comfort and excellent road holding.
This 2011 cabriolet is finished in a red wrap with a black leather interior. Highly specified when new with leather trim, sat-nav, electric seats, Bluetooth and active dampers; the car was also originally fitted with the Black Pack trim option.
Owned by our vendor since it was just a few months old, it has seen regular use and maintenance, with over £15k worth of invoices to back this up - superbly presented, it comes with an MOT to January 2025 and has two keys.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Les the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
