The sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing 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.

Manufactured in 2000, the XKR offered was dispatched new through W. E. Sturgess & Sons Jaguar of Leicester, being supplied to the original owner on the 26^th of May and first registered as ‘2 BBC’. Fitted with the 3996cc Jaguar supercharged V8 engine with the five-speed automatic transmission, the XKR is finished in Sea Frost metallic paintwork with Ivory leather interior upholstery. Entering into the vendor's custodianship in 2016, at the time of consignment the XKR had covered 92,315 miles from new, across seven former keepers. Well-specified from new with optional extras that included, satellite navigation, a in-built telephone, and desirable split-rim wheels.

Subject to much improvement while in the vendor's ownership, the work completed has included floor pan renewal, replacement top timing chain tensioner and cam cover gaskets (all by Jaguar specialists XJK to the cost of over £1,700), as well as renewed brake pads. Recently fitted with a new hood, the Jaguar is accompanied by the cherished registration number ‘P24 XKR’, and is also offered with a history file which includes the book pack with a stamped service book displaying eighteen entries (with many from Jaguar main dealers and specialists), a collection of invoices for work and servicing completed since the vendor's acquisition, numerous previous MOT certificates dating back to 2006, a current V5C document, and a no advisory MOT certificate until July 2023.
