Jaguar XKR 4.2 V8 SC Convertible

In 1996, after more than 20 years, the XJ-S was replaced by the XK as Jaguar's flagship model. The top version, the XKR, was fitted with an Eaton supercharger as a ventilation aid. The last examples of the X100 series and, as here, the new X150 were already equipped with the improved 4.2 litre V8. This ensures smoother running and more power. With the newer AJ-34 engine, the well-known chain tensioner problem was no longer an issue. A better ZF automatic gearbox with 6 instead of 5 gears also provided the power transmission. It was to be the last XK before it was replaced by the smaller F-Type.

This is an XKR with the supercharged 4.2 litre engine and 420 hp. This V8 is without doubt Jaguar's best and most sophisticated 8-cylinder engine. The car was first delivered in Switzerland and has been regularly maintained by a Jaguar garage, which has owned the car for several years. A top-equipped car in very well-kept condition and an elegant colour combination. The car is very sporty and comfortable to drive at the same time. The V8 provides the right background noise.
