JAGUAR CLASSIC, READY TO ENJOY! As the spiritual successor to the
revered E-Type of 1961-74, Jaguars new XK8 debuted at the 1996
British Motor Show. Internally designated X100, the XK8 clearly
paid homage to the revered E-Type/XKE and enjoyed immediate
success, remaining in production with select updates until 2005.
Available in sleek Coupe and sexy Convertible body styles, the XK8
was powered by Jaguars latest AJ-V8 engine displacing 4.0 liters,
mated to an automatic gearbox with J-gate shift pattern. Following
in the tradition of the long-running prior XJS in fact built around
its predecessors floor plan, the XK8 featured a stiffer, yet
lighter, structure with construction utilizing aircraft
technologies. Styling of the XK8 remains influential, itself
decidedly reminiscent of the E-Type.In May 1998, the
high-performance XKR variant debuted, in both Coupe and Convertible
body styles. Powered by a supercharged version of the AJ-V8 engine
delivering 370 factory-rated horsepower, the XKR also ushered in a
new Mercedes-supplied 5-speed automatic gearbox. Nearly 10 per cent
more powerful than the old Jaguar V-12, the supercharged XKR was
governed to an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph and
included Computer Active Technology Suspension, a new Servotronic
steering system, and improved higher-performance brakes. Engine
cooling was aided with louvers at both sides of the bonnet (hood),
adding a purposeful look along with classically styled Jaguar
Supercharged emblems featuring the marques legendary growler
motif.As breathtaking in price as performance when new, this 2000
Jaguar XKR Convertible clearly benefits from sparing use, initially
in New York and since 2003 with one owner in sunny Florida. Offered
with just two owners and 36,000 actual miles at the time of
listing, it is exceptionally attractive in Metallic Silver over
black leather upholstery, handsomely complemented by a Black
power-operated convertible top and black-finished alloy wheels. In
addition to the potent supercharged engine and R upgraded brakes
and suspension, this outstanding XKR is highly equipped with
options and amenities. Among them are A/C, AM/FM CD stereo, cruise
control, tilt-telescopic steering, and power front seats, plus a
rear-window defogger and power-assisted brakes, steering, locks,
mirrors, and windows. A recent service included timing-belt
replacement. Other highlights include limited slip rear axle and
traction control, plus R 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Documents
include the owners manual, original window sticker, radio codes,
original sales literature, and miscellaneous parts. Very well
preserved, this stunning, high-specification modern Jaguar classic
is ready to enjoy and appreciate with a recent detailing. As E-Type
market values continue to climb into the stratosphere, the modern
XKR offers a compelling alternative with higher performance and far
greater usability to boot. Smart collectors and marque enthusiasts
are beginning to appreciate these virtues, and this top-of-the-line
XKR marks an excellent opportunity to own and enjoy one of these
unqualified modern icons from Jaguar. Contact us now to experience
