Jaguar - XKR Convertible - 2001

This 2001 Jaguar XKR Convertible stands out first and foremost for its exceptionally complete and verifiable history. According to the available Clean Carfax report, it is a One Owner car, kept with the same owner since new, a damage-free history, and consistently maintained throughout its life.

The maintenance history runs from the first kilometer registration in November 2000 to February 2026 and shows a particularly consistent mileage progression. The most recent service was performed in 2026 at 108,400 miles, just 35 miles ago. In combination with the original window sticker, the attractive factory specification, distinctive color, and the documented low mileage, this forms a very well-documented example of the X100-generation XKR.

The big difference between a regular XK8 and the XKR lies under the hood. This car is equipped with Jaguar’s 4.0-liter AJ-V8 with a mechanical supercharger and intercooler, good for 370 HP. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission. The transmission offers both Normal and Sport programs. The combination of a large V8, supercharger and rear-wheel drive gave the XKR the performance befitting its position as Jaguar’s sporty top model.

This example is finished in the striking CGL Phoenix Red and features a matching-numbers 3.996 cc Supercharged V8. The car was delivered new with a US MSRP of $90,550. With a similar specification, the Dutch new price was around €150,775.

Also appealing is the factory specification. In addition to the already very complete standard equipment, $3,600 of factory options were ordered. The special red body color accounted for $650, while the navigation system was, at the time, an expensive option of $2,000. Additionally, a wood/leather steering wheel was chosen for $450 and heated front seats for $500.

The interior is typical for a luxury Jaguar Grand Tourer from this period, featuring a combination of leather, wood, and extensive electric comfort features. The car includes, among other things, power windows, cruise control, automatic climate control, a trip computer, Reverse Park Control, and a memory function for the driver’s seat, steering column, and exterior mirrors.

For entertainment, the XKR was equipped with the Premium Alpine audio system. This consists of AM/FM radio, cassette player, 6-CD changer, digital signal processing, and a 320-watt amplifier. In addition, this example features the optional factory navigation system.

The electrically operable convertible roof is lined and features a glass rear window. With the top up, the XKR functions as a comfortable Grand Tourer, while driving with the top down gives it a completely different character. The combination of open-top driving with the sound and power of the Supercharged V8 is among the features that make the XKR Convertible so attractive today.

Externally, the XKR is distinguished by its functional hood vents, wire-mesh grille, rear spoiler, and integrated fog lights. It also features auto-on headlights with headlamp washers, rain sensor, and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors in body color.

Equally important as the specification for this Jaguar is its very extensive maintenance history. The CARFAX history begins on 27 November 2000, when the mileage was registered at just 29 miles. The history then extends for more than 25 years, with recurring maintenance, emissions tests, and mileage registrations.

The combination of this long maintenance record, the gradual and logically documented mileage progression, the damage-free history, and the fact that the car has had only one owner from new according to CARFAX, forms an important part of the appeal of this XKR. Many cars from this generation have since had multiple owners and only partially known histories; in this example, a remarkably large portion of its life has been documented.

Safety equipment includes three-point seat belts with pretensioners, front and side airbags for driver and passenger, and Jaguar’s Ultrasonic Occupant Sensing System.

Mechanically, the car, in addition to its 4.0-liter Supercharged V8, features speed-sensitive power steering with variable ratio, rear-wheel drive, and an electronically controlled five-speed automatic with overdrive and separate Normal and Sport programs.

With the Jaguar, the original window sticker, USA title, and European/Dutch import documents are present. All import duties and VAT are paid. The seller can also assist with transport within Europe and worldwide shipping.

This XKR thus combines several qualities that are increasingly important for a modern classic: an attractive and richly equipped factory specification, the 370 HP Supercharged V8, the open convertible body, and above all an exceptionally complete history from new. The fact that the car is a CARFAX-documented damaged-free ONE OWNER car, combined with a maintenance history spanning over 25 years and a service performed only 35 miles ago, makes this a particularly well-documented example of the Jaguar X100 XKR.
