The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
  Lot 35
 

2003 Jaguar XKR Coupe
Long-term private ownership and a desirable colour combination

Registration – DG52 XKR

Chassis No. – SAJAC41R533A34684

M.O.T. – June 2026

Odometer – 127,500

Presented in an attractive shade of Adriatic Blue with contrasting dove grey leather upholstery, this supercharged grand tourer has been in the care of only two previous keepers and now shows 127,500 miles. The vendor informs us that it starts promptly and drives with the expected urgency of the 4.2-litre V8, the gearbox shifting smoothly, and the ride retaining the refinement that defined the model. The bodywork presents well for its age and mileage, retaining a deep gloss across the principal panels, with the 20-inch alloy wheels also presenting smartly. The interior shows honest light wear but remains highly presentable, the leather seats comfortable and the burr-walnut veneers clean and bright. All major switchgear, including the climate control and audio system, is said to function correctly.

The cabin photographs confirm a well-kept environment, with correct trim, clean carpets and original features retained. The engine bay presents tidy and unmodified. Accompanying the car is an MOT valid until June 2026 and a history of careful long-term private ownership. The vendor advises that the car has been used and maintained regularly, benefitting from sensible upkeep rather than prolonged storage.

Introduced as the high-performance flagship of the range, the XKR combined elegant styling with a supercharged V8 delivering effortless pace. With its blend of refinement, long-legged ability and distinctive design, it has already gained a strong following among modern classic enthusiasts. Well-maintained examples, particularly those with limited ownership histories, continue to gain recognition for their usability and character.

  • Just two previous keepers and long-term private ownership

  • MOT valid until June 2026; presenting smartly inside and out

  • Supercharged 4.2-litre performance in a desirable colour combination
