The vehicle comes with Japanese registration documents and an extensive collection of historical maintenance and inspection reports, including documentation from official Jaguar workshops in Japan.

BODYWORK AND PAINT WORK
This Jaguar XKR Convertible is finished in Pacific Blue Mica (JHM), an elegant metallic paint that beautifully accentuates the flowing lines of the XK series.
The deep blue body forms an attractive harmony with the characteristic XKR grille with metal mesh, functional hood vents, a subtle rear spoiler, and the original XKR-style 18-inch alloy wheels.
The car features an electrically operated, fully lined convertible soft top with a heated glass rear window. This makes the XKR suitable as both an open sports car and a comfortable grand tourer.
The exterior equipment also includes automatic headlights with washers, front and rear fog lights, rain sensors, and electrically adjustable heated door mirrors.
Given the age of the car, normal signs of use and cosmetic imperfections may be present. Prospective buyers are advised to view the photos carefully to assess the cosmetic condition.

INTERIOR
The interior is finished in luxurious Nimbus Grey Connolly leather (LFJ), complemented by traditional Jaguar walnut wood.
The interior reflects the distinctive combination of British craftsmanship, comfort, and sporty elegance. The extensive use of leather and polished wood provides an exclusive look, while power-adjustable seats and generous comfort features make the XKR particularly suitable for long journeys.
The car has electrically adjustable and heated front seats with memory function, a wood/leather steering wheel, wood gear selector, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an auto-dimming interior mirror.
The premium Alpine audio system includes an AM/FM radio, cassette player, six-disc CD changer, digital signal processing, and 320 watts output.
The combination of Nimbus Grey leather, walnut wood, and Pacific Blue Mica exterior color makes this example particularly elegant.

TECHNICAL
Power is delivered by Jaguar’s 3,996 cc AJ-V8 engine with a supercharger and intercooler, producing 375 hp and 525 Nm of torque.
This all-aluminum V8 engine with 32 valves and double overhead camshafts was developed to deliver smooth power delivery with strong acceleration and refined driving characteristics.
The engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with normal and sport shift programmes, sending power to the rear wheels.
The XKR features Jaguar’s Computer Active Technology Suspension (CATS), an electronically controlled adaptive damping system that adjusts ride comfort and handling to driving conditions.
Other technical equipment includes speed-sensitive power steering, disc brakes all around, a 75-liter fuel tank, and independent suspension.
The odometer currently reads 130,391 kilometers.
This car comes with an extensive set of Japanese maintenance and inspection documents, detailing service and periodic inspections between 2002 and 2010. It also includes a Japanese registration document for electronic equipment from February 2022.
The historical maintenance documentation lists oil changes and oil filter replacements, work on the braking system, replacement of suspension components, steering checks, cooling system checks, transmission and drivetrain checks, and periodic Japanese statutory inspections.
From 2010 to 2021, no maintenance documents have been kept, though it is stated that maintenance was carried out during that period.
The available historical documentation provides valuable information about previous maintenance, but does not constitute an up-to-date technical inspection or warranty for individual parts.
