Launched at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK (XK150) features an aluminum chassis and timeless styling by Ian Callum, designer of the Aston Martin Vanquish and DB7 models. This 2008 example is a Jaguar XKR Convertible powered by a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It comes finished in Porcelain White over a tan leather interior with wood trim and features heated power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel, an Alpine surround sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, an active exhaust system, and 19” Sabre chrome wheels. Showing approximately 29k miles on the odometer, this high-performance grand tourer is now being offered for auction out of Arizona.
Compared to a standard Jaguar XK, the XKR version features mesh front grilles, a vented front bonnet, R-branded brake calipers, and model-specific front and rear spoilers. This XKR is finished in Porcelain White with a power-operated tan soft top. Equipment includes auto-leveling bi-xenon headlights, headlamp washers, fog lights, LED taillights, nickel-finished fender vents, parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, quad exhaust tips, and 19” Sabre chrome wheels. The seller notes some imperfections on the front bumper and curb rash on the wheels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features tan leather upholstery with matching carpets, polished accents, and burl walnut veneers. Amenities include heated 10-way power-adjustable front seats, a three-spoke leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, paddle shifters, a power tilt/telescopic steering column, keyless entry, pushbutton start, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 7” central infotainment display with navigation, and an Alpine surround sound system. Some signs of wear are noted on the front seats.
A supercharged 4.2-liter V8 DOHC engine delivers up to 420 HP and 413 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. Performance features include adaptive four-wheel independent suspension, an active exhaust system, speed-sensitive power steering, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and a four-wheel disc brake with ABS. Maintenance records show new front brake pads and rotors installed in 2020 along with a brake fluid flush, coolant flush, a new engine air filter, and an oil change. A transmission service was performed in January 2023 including a new transmission filter pan. The CARFAX report also shows the battery and thermostat were replaced in 2020.
This sale will include an owner’s manual, service records, and a clean title.
