Introduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by either a 4.2-litre V8 or 5.0-litre engine as per the sale car, both in supercharged or non-supercharged form, the standard-fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).
The Speed and Black Packs added extra performance and styling menace to the already highly competent and pretty XKR. Raising the top speed from 155mph by almost 20mph (to 174mph), the 0-60mph capability is also increased to 4.6 seconds, and a performance exhaust also further releases the thunderous V8 noise. The Speed Pack also includes the addition of a number of unique colour-coded aerodynamic parts including the front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser and a taller rear spoiler – with the Black Pack, providing 20-inch gloss Black ‘Kalimnos’ alloy wheels, along with Black window surrounds and front grilles.
Manufactured in 2009, the XKR Speed and Black Pack example offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 8th of May that year. Finished in the apt colour combination of Anthracite Black paintwork with complementary Black wheels and Black leather upholstery, the XKR was well-specified from new, with the Speed and Black Packs costing an additional £8,000 on the list price alone, and it is offered now having covered some 77,000 miles from new and has had five former keepers. Supplied with a history file that contains extensive invoices for work and maintenance, previous MOT certificates, a current MOT certificate until April 2025, and a current V5C. The original book pack in the Jaguar wallet is also included, which contains the stamped service book that displays twelve service stamps, the most recent being completed in March at 76,917 miles. Recently benefitting from new rear tyres, new rear wheel bearings, new brake pads, the Jaguar is offered with two sets of keys. A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable and lesser-seen Speed and Black Pack example.
