Classic lines and a feature role as the ride for the lead henchman in the James Bond flick Die Another Day should be a pretty good start for a model intended to make the owner feel special.
With the 1996 reveal of the XK8, performance enthusiasts would have to wait a little longer for the supercharged version.
Our feature on the series reveals: “Jaguar had been offering supercharged sedans since 1994 and performance-loving enthusiasts waited impatiently for the XKR. It arrived six months after the base model and immediately set new benchmarks in two of the attributes associated with Jaguar; grace and pace.”
The driveline is a 4-valve 4.0lt V8 with five-speed automatic transmission.
John Conroy Classic Cars in Brisbane has it on the market at $69,990.
