2006 Jaguar XKR-S White Badge

This XKR has an enviable history. Starting life as a Carbon Edition, when relatively new it was fitted with the extremely costly Typhoon upgrade package, including uprated supercharger, intercooler, stainless exhaust, new ECU and suspension giving improved performance and a fantastic sound.

But more than that, not only has it been maintained by Jaguar specialists its entire life, it was bought by one of the mechanics who looked after it.

It was serviced by Jagtech for several years before the owner took it to WSM Jaguar specialists for a few more years. When one of the mechanics who had maintained it left to set up on his own, the car’s owner followed and the same man continued to look after the Jag. A little later when the then owner decided to sell, and knowing how good the car was, the man who had taken care of the XKR for several years became its owner.

The exterior is in outstanding condition. There are almost no stone chips and no scratches or marks we noticed around the silver paint, and the panels are excellent too without ding's in the softly curving flanks.

It’s 20” BBS alloys look stunning under the car, they are generally very good with only a couple of marks on the rim and a little lacquer peel between the spokes. They are wearing very high quality Pirelli P Zero tyres with good tread all round, and hide brakes with drilled disks and red R branded callipers.

Inside the car is beautiful, a mix of soft leather, carbon fibre and satin metal. The black leather seats look stunning and show almost no wear at all, looking fresh still and the hide carries on to the centre console, dash, doors and steering wheel - again all in good condition.

The carbon dash holds extra dials in the centre, and surrounds the J gate gearshift. The lower part of the centre stack holds all the comfort controls, with heat, A/C, heated seat controls and the radio cassette, which controls the CD changer tucked in the boot.

Beneath the car all appears very original and solid. With the uprated supercharged V8 breathing through bigger stainless twin exhausts the sound from the engine is incredible. With a qualified Jaguar specialist as an owner its no surprise the servicing and maintenance are up to date and the car looks mechanically impeccable.

When the car was fairly new it had a vast amount spent on it in the form of the Typhoon Upgrade Package. This took the already special parts of the XK-R and took them a stage further with uprated intercooler and supercharger, a full Milltek stainless exhaust and ECU upgrade to get the best from it all, and uprated suspension to keep the car under control with the extra power.

Beyond routine maintenance and servicing it has had little cause to trouble the workshop.

Even without the subtle upgrades this would be one of the nicest looking XKR’s we’ve seen, but the Carbon Edition interior and Typhoon package make this a unique and special car. With its relatively low miles this would be an ideal car to either use and enjoy or to treat as an investment in the kind of car that wont be built again.

We estimate for this Jaguar to reach anywhere between £20,000 - £25,000.
