1999 Jaguar XKR Convertible
***NO RESERVE***

Registration – A18 MTH

Chassis No. – SAJJGAFF3AR037050

M.O.T. – No

Odometer – 156,000

The X100 series Jaguar XK marked a confident return to the marque’s grand touring roots during the late 1990s, blending elegant styling inspired by the legendary E Type with contemporary engineering and refinement. In supercharged XKR form, the model delivered performance capable of challenging many contemporary sports cars, whilst retaining the effortless character and long distance comfort long associated with Jaguar.

This 1999 Convertible example is finished in deep metallic blue coachwork complemented by a contrasting light interior, presenting as a quintessential late 1990s British grand tourer. Its flowing lines, oval mesh grille and subtly flared bonnet vents create a timeless and recognisably Jaguar silhouette. The vendor informs us that the vehicle has covered approximately 156,000 miles from new and that the MOT expired on 1 February 2026.

The XKR Convertible offers open top motoring with genuine touring capability, the electrically operated hood allowing a seamless transition from refined cruiser to relaxed grand tourer. Multi spoke alloy wheels and discreet exterior detailing distinguish the supercharged XKR from the standard XK8, hinting at the enhanced performance beneath.

Inside, the cabin delivers the traditional Jaguar ambience of leather upholstery, wood veneer and generously proportioned seating, prioritising comfort and refinement. The vendor advises that the vehicle has been enjoyed in keeping with its grand touring nature and prospective purchasers are encouraged to satisfy themselves as to its current mechanical condition prior to bidding.

Power is supplied by Jaguar’s supercharged 4.0 litre V8 engine, driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. In period, the XKR was widely praised for its strong, smooth acceleration and effortless high speed cruising ability, characteristics that continue to define the model today.

Offered without reserve, this XKR Convertible represents an accessible opportunity to acquire a supercharged Jaguar grand tourer, suitable as a recommissioning project, relaxed weekend cruiser or an affordable entry into modern classic Jaguar ownership.

• Supercharged 4.0 litre V8 engine
• Four seat convertible grand tourer
• Offered without reserve
