SALE PENDING to California!! Interesting Facts: The Jaguar XK
series replaced theXJSand featured Jaguar's AJ-V8, its first
8-cylinder model since thelegacy Daimler 250. The XK shared its
platform with theAston Martin DB7which was itself based on the
stillborn XJ41/42 project built on a modified XJ-S chassis
conceived in the mid-1980s. We are proud to offer this
exceptionally beautiful, rather rare 2007 Jaguar XKR Coupe. With
just under 52,000 original miles, a recent full service, history
documentation, a clean CARFAX, and a timeless black on black color
combination, this Jag surely qualifies as an instant modern
classic. This is collector owned and has been loved since new. The
second generation of the XK (X150) debuted in 2005 at theFrankfurt
Motor Showin Germany, styled by Jaguar's chief designerIan Callum.
The X150's grille was designed to recall the 1961E-Type. The XK
features a bonded and riveted aluminium chassis shared with theXJ,
a first for a Jaguar grand tourer. The XKR version, offered here,
features a 420 hp supercharged 5.0 liter V-8 and has the limited
top speed increased to 174mph (280km/h). This particular XKR
started life at the Castle Bromwich Assembly plant in Birmingham,
England. Destined to be a US market car, it was passed through US
customs in Baltimore, MD, and was originally sold by Patrick Jaguar
Land Rover in Naperville, IL. Throughout it's life, this XKR has
been meticulously maintained, with all services performed on-time
and documented. Less than 1,000 miles ago, a $2,200 major service
was performed by Jaguar Land Rover of North Scottsdale. Needless to
say, this car is in excellent condition and ready to be enjoyed.
Cosmetically, we love the black (ebony) livery on black leather.
It's a timeless combination, and gives this car an aggressive yet
sophisticated appearance. The paint has maintained it's depth and
shine, showing very little sign of age. The paint is nearly
perfect, devoid of any noticeable cracks, scratches, or dents. The
front has a clear bra applied to help protect it from chips. The
wheels have no curb rash and abrasion, but have a few very small
chips from tire rotations, etc. The retractable antenna has a
slight bend in it and the drivers seat has slight wear shown, but
otherwise the interior is pristine. Mechanically, this XKR is very
solid, having received a clean bill of health from Jaguar Land
Rover. The car drives smooth, sounds amazing, and operates as it
should. It was however noted that the brake fluid and power
steering fluid, while fine today, will likely need to be flushed in
the near future. Jaguar also noted the air cabin filter should be
changed soon. Jaguar further noted that the AC was running on a low
charge (likely from lack of use). However, we found its operation
to be just fine during the hot Phoenix Summer. Overall, this XKR
represents a modern classic. With limited production numbers,
especially for coupe variants with this color combo, we've priced
this car aggressively, but firmly. The history, documentation, and
exceptional condition of this car will certainly please its next
owner (the writer of this listing is rather envious of whomever
that may be!). This XKR can be seen at our Phoenix showroom. For
