Introduction

Isaac Wass

Professional Consigner

Sleek, powerful, and refined, the XKR features a 5.0L supercharged V8 and a refreshed design, offering exceptional performance at every turn.

Jaguar is a brand that has produced some brilliant cars, and living up to past heroes is a tough act to follow. The XKR followed the X150 XK models in 2007, with new supercharged engines promising a punchy upgrade without any compromise to its comfort. At the time, it was one of the most powerful cars to leave the Coventry factory.

The manufacturers had also developed the car properly, meaning that the quality of materials, reliability, and finishing were on par with the best. This helped place the XKR firmly among the greats of Browns Lane, which now offers tremendous value for what is arguably one of the most stylish cars of the era.

This car comes to market from ~7 years ownership, and is a facelift which was introduced with minor alterations to the front and rear lights, as well as bumper design, along with a 5.0L V8 under the bonnet. With this being an 'R', a supercharger is also installed. It was optioned with the Warm Charcoal interior, a beautiful shade highlighted by red sporty stitching, which pairs well with the super smart "Ultimate Black" paintwork. A particular highlight of this XKR is the full service history, with recent servicing completed in August 2024.

Some other notable upgrades on this example include: a heated steering wheel; heated front seats; suede headlining; premium Bowers and Wilkins sound system; keyless entry; rear parking camera and stealth pack body styling. The Jaguar is complete with 2 sets of keys, the owners' handbook, leather folio and a current MOT valid until 14.08.2025.

If you're in the market for an XKR coupe, this example deserves a close look.

This listing was written from information supplied by Isaac after meeting Dave the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

A head-turning muscle car that offers an incredible experience; in my opinion, it is one of the best-looking sports cars ever made.

Having owned the Jaguar for the last seven years and being only the second owner, Dave knows his way around this XKR and its past history - he tells us more about his initial purchase, "I was staggered when Jaguar made the decision to stop manufacturing the XKR because it had such a strong reputation and following. I’d been looking for an XKR for quite some time, but hadn’t managed to find one with the spec I wanted—black metallic paint, smoke-free, and with good history. So when I saw this one advertised by the original owner, who had had the car from new, I called to view it straight away. The car looked fantastic, was in great condition, and drove brilliantly; so it was an easy decision to buy it".

Its looks set this car apart from the pack, with bold lines and impressive performance. Dave lets us know about his experience with the car, "It looks fantastic, and with the sports seats, it's super comfortable. The 5.0L V8 supercharged engine makes it great to drive. If you’ve had a tough day at work, after five minutes driving the XKR, you’ve got a smile back on your face again".

Dave goes on to say, "I’ve loved having the car. The number of people who say what a lovely car it is incredible—at the fuel station or the golf club car park, there's always lots of compliments on it. Fuel consumption is decent as well, which is a bonus. It’s just a lovely drive and great fun too".

The car comes to market a little reluctantly, with Dave saying, "It’s been a really tough decision to sell the car. I love it, but we now have two dogs, which are not permitted anywhere near the XKR, and we are soon to be grandparents. Unfortunately, the frequency I’m able to use the XKR is reducing all the time, hence the decision to sell it".

Dave will be happy to answer any questions in the comments section below.

EXTERIOR VIDEO

Exterior

Combining elegance and aggression, with sleek lines, a bold grille, and a muscular stance, the Jaguar is a true standout on the road.

Wheels and Tyres

The 20" alloy wheels, finished in black with diamond cut edges, all appeared to be in great condition. Red Jaguar centre caps stood out well on the wheels. We didn’t notice any major damage or concerns here as the wheels were looking smart.

The Jaguar is fitted with Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round showing 255/35 at the front and 295/30 at the rear. The tyres are date coded from 2022 to the front and 2019 to the rear. All tyres appeared to be in great visual condition with no initial concerns on the tread remaining, take a look through the pictures to see the detail.

Bodywork

The Jaguar’s bodywork is in great condition; looking around the car, there are no apparent dings or dents that we noted on our visit. Door shut lines are visually equal and matching, as are the bonnet and boot.

When we looked over the car, we didn't see any visual signs of corrosion to the body panels, what you'd expect given the care this car has received over its life. The XKR has had its offside door replaced in 2018.

We've highlighted our observations in more detail through our hi-resolution images and videos, so please take the time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer and to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

The paintwork on the XKR has excellent coverage and quality across all the panels and is finished in "Ultimate Black". We didn't note any major concerns as the exterior of the car looked in great shape.

Of course, we did note a few stone chips over the exterior, notably on the front of the car and the wing mirrors, although these didn't detract from the overall appearance of the XKR.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there yourself. Please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car to form your own opinion about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The glass and trim sections on the Jaguar were in great condition, consistent with the car's age; we didn't notice any cracks or discolouration during our visit. The window seals looked smart and showed no concerns, matching the rest of the car.

The front and rear lights looked very well-maintained. Badges and emblems are present and correct.

Take a look through the exterior gallery and review video. We take you across all areas of the car as if you were standing there yourself. This way, you can see in greater detail how the car is presented.

INTERIOR VIDEO

Interior

Supportive leather seats, luxury stitched detail, and a driver-focused cockpit create an atmosphere of refined comfort.

Seats and Carpets

The XKR is equipped with "Warm Charcoal" leather upholstery featuring quilted, diamond-style red stitching, providing a stylish complement to the exterior. The front seats in this car are set up with full electric adjustment and heated functions. The rear seats show very well, with barely a mark noted on them.

Overall, the seats are in excellent condition; we noted no major concerns as they presented very well. The car is fitted with flint grey, leather-edged Jaguar floor mats. The carpet areas in the cabin and boot are also in excellent condition. We cover the cabin area of the Jaguar in more detail in our interior review video.

Dashboard

Wrapped in black leather, with contrasting red twin-needle stitching across the centre console, the dashboard is presented in excellent, unmarked condition. This is a car that has clearly been cared for.

The Jaguar sat-nav system is located in the centre section, controlling the CD player, stereo system, DAB tuner, and onboard computer, which switches to park distance control when reversing.

A centre digital screen is fitted between the speedometer and rev counter. The dials, switches, and controls all appear to be in excellent condition, with surfaces free from fogging or scratching.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

Finished in black leather, the Jaguar 'R' steering wheel is in excellent condition. The wheel controls present well, managing the entertainment system, hands-free operation, and cruise control. The steering wheel also features a heating function for colder days.

The automatic gearbox can be controlled by a smart metal dial in the centre console that raises when the car is started and is in great condition. Additionally, the steering wheel has paddle shifters, allowing you to shift through the gears if you prefer manual control.

We've detailed more images of the cabin area, including the steering wheel, in our Interior Gallery section—head over to see more shots of what the XKR has to offer.

'ON THE ROAD' VIDEO

Mechanics

Powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8, the XKR delivers a seriously impressive ~510 BHP, launching from 0-60 in just ~4.6 seconds.

Engine and Gearbox

Starting up from cold, we noted no concerns, and the Jaguar performed without issue when running and out on the road. Showing in great visual condition, we saw no issues, smoke, or unusual noises.

The automatic gearbox worked smoothly on the road, with no unwanted noises. The gearbox showed no concerns regarding its performance while driving. We took the car out around some local roads with the current owner to get a better feel for what this vehicle is all about. During the drive, we ran through the motions, taking the XKR through the gears and getting an overview from Dave's perspective on how the car performs.

Suspension and Brakes

Fitted with sports suspension, we noted no knocks, bangs, or issues from the suspension while on the road, it gave us no concerns regarding its performance or handling.

During the recent MOT, we noted there was an advisory for the front suspension arm pin or that the bush had worn. This wasn't causing excessive movement from what we could see, and we didn't observe any issues during the drive.

The brakes bring the car to a halt in a straight line, with no juddering reported through the pedal. The stopping power and control felt great, worked as expected, and were in line with our expectations. New front discs, pads, sensors, and rear pads and sensors were replaced in April 2024, costing over £700.

The Drive

This car can be used comfortably for driving in town and city at low revs, thanks to the torque that the 5.0L supercharged powertrain offers. Switch the gearbox to sports mode and put the throttle to the floor, and this car turns into a completely different beast.

Dave, the current owner, tells us more about his driving experience with the Jaguar, "The performance of the ~510 BHP V8 engine is brilliant, and when combined with the dynamic spec, it’s a real ‘head turner’. It drives exceptionally well on country roads and is comfortable enough to take on long road trips".

Our 'On the Road' video provides an overview of the car and its performance while driving.

Electrics and Other

We’ve detailed the full specification in the "Paperwork" section, but some of the highlights include the heated steering wheel, heated front seats, suede headlining, premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system, keyless entry, rear parking camera, and the stealth pack body styling.

Dave told us that that he's has had no issues with the electrical elements of the car, and confirms everything is working as it should. All switches, dials, and gauges appear undamaged and are in great condition.

History and Paperwork

The XKR comes to market with just 1 former keeper, low mileage, and a great service history - it's a stunning jaguar and is worth a close look at what it has to offer.

The XKR has benefited from a great deal of care and attention over its history. No major engine work has been needed to the Jaguar, just routine annual services where necessary repairs were made, including replacing wheel bearings, discs, and pads.

In 2018, the offside door was marked, so Dave opted for a full replacement rather than a repair. Aside from this, Dave has had a few small areas of oxidised paint resprayed, but nothing significant. Dave tells us that the car remains largely as it was when it left the factory and is a great example of a fantastic Jaguar.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPI that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.
