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 supplied new by Jaguar of Liverpool being road registered on the 6th January that year. Finished in Silver with a Cream leather interior upholstery, the Jaguar was retained by the first keeper for four years before being purchased by the vendor, having covered some 40,000 miles. Used by the vendor regularly until early 2011, the XKR was taken off the road in 2011 but the vendor could not bear to part with the car until now, and will therefore require some recommissioning before going back on the road again. The Jaguar was stolen for half a day in 2009 but was recovered before leaving the postcode area of London unscathed, with it noted on HPI. Offered now with under 61,000 miles from new, the XKR is offered without reserve and is accompanied by the original book pack including the owner’s handbook and stamped service book displaying several main agent stamps, and a current V5C document showing just one former keeper.
