Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Jaguar took an already awesome car, the XKR, and turned it into something very special indeed - the fabulous and rare XKR-S.
The Jaguar XKR-S is bad, in oh such a good way. Without doubt it was the fastest and hardest-looking XK ever developed back in 2008. The car was only available in Ultimate Black in a limited run of just 200 - making it one of the most rarest production Jaguars.
The car featured the same engine as the standard supercharged XKR 4.2L, but the boffins raised its top speed by 19mph to 174mph.
Although we all love an engine tune, it was actually the suspension changes that really stand out as a key upgrade when compared to the standard XKR. Most of you will know Mike Cross, the legendary chassis engineer at Jaguar. Well Mike was responsible for engineering the chassis on the standard XKR which was praised by petrolheads and automotive journalists at the time. Mike was then also responsible for the XKR-S and boy did his team do an fantastic job! The XKR-S got new springs, anti-roll bars and dampers and the car was also lowered by a further 10mm. The CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension) system has been tweaked with too. This really is one of the best driving Jaguars to have been made in recent times.
From an aesthetic perspective, the car is fitted with distinctive and larger 20" alloys, alcon brakes and a subtle body kit - these were just some of the many upgrades included with this rare Jaguar.
This example has investment potential written all over it. The car is in truly excellent condition with only ~33,500 miles. If you're in the market for an XKR then pay a bit more, get an XKR-S and enjoy the best driving experience possible - it will also put a big smile on your face knowing you've made a great investment choice too.

Morning,
yes the car is in great condition, with low mileage , and was in fact last serviced in late 2019 and due to Covid restrictions hardly used since then , living in the garage. It ‘s been very well looked after and is a rare example of the “S” mark .
regards
David Lunan
Hey David – fyi… there are some unanswered questions below… please can you take a look and reply to the guys.
Martin / Dan – just to let you know from our side that we’ve published everything that was given to us. The last service we can see is 2018 unless David says otherwise here. thanks
Hi David , nice car , does not appeared to have been serviced since 2018 ? has any work been carried out other than MOT since then ? kind regards, Martin
Hi Alex
well as I think you can see from the video its a beautiful car in great condition , low mileage and well looked after all its life by the three owners, the last two being my brother and me, with it in a garage since 2012 at least . As you ‘ll know there were only a small number ever made in UK and I think its worth £25k as result.
Kind regards
David
