Letting go of my XKR. Rather than listing the amenities to folks who really know and appreciate Jag’s I’ll stick to this cars condition. I would prefer having this car go to someone who knows and can appreciate Jaguars. I was a club member years ago when I had my 1967 E type.
Paint, interior, and top are 98pts. Mechanically sound, since owning it from December 2017 (bought it from my neighbor who stored it for over a decade) it is a California car, I’ve had it maintained by BBC in San Diego (as did the previous owner) and later by Coventry Cars of SD. My maintenance/repairs investment excluding purchase is $14,500 (all receipts). No engine repairs in its 68000 miles with exception of updated timing chain tensioners. I drive the car as you know what occurs if you just look at it for years. Front suspension rebuilt (known for sagging), Almost every hose replaced, (the ones you can’t get to without labor hours) from aging, complete coils plugs fuel pumps and total engine harness wiring (having to remove the supercharger). The detailed spread sheet lists all repairs (and have all receipts).
2000 XKR Maintenance and Repair
This car needs nothing. Perhaps in the next 3-5K miles, front brakes.
Model year 2000, first year of the supercharged version of the XK8 the Jaguar XKR. With a 4.0-liter V-8 and Eaton Roots-style blower. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. An automatic only available gearbox, but it is a Mercedes-built 5-speed unit rather than the ZF gearbox in the XK8 due to the additional torque from the supercharged version.
Listed 47 photos, I have 67 in dropbox for those interested in looking at the undercarriage. I am asking $19,700. Yes, perhaps higher than one that needs work. Please no low offers.
