2006 Jaguar XJR Portfolio | The Summer Serenade Auction | 18th July

• One of 100 examples produced for the UK market
• Over £18,000 spent during our vendor’s six-year tenure, mostly at Tom Lenthall Ltd
• Excellent service history and condition

The Jaguar XJR represented the pinnacle of the X350 generation XJ range, combining traditional Jaguar luxury with effortless supercharged V8 performance. This example is the desirable Portfolio edition, one of just 100 examples produced for the UK market and distinguished by several exclusive cosmetic enhancements. Powered by Jaguar's acclaimed 4.2 litre supercharged V8 engine producing 400bhp and coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, this XJR delivers exhilarating performance whilst retaining the refinement and comfort expected of Jaguar's flagship saloon.

First registered on 24th October 2006, the car has covered approximately 91,500 miles from new and has had five registered keepers, the current owner having enjoyed the car for the last six years. Finished in Midnight Black with Ivory leather upholstery, this XJR presents superbly and is a credit to its enthusiast owner. Shortly after acquiring the Jaguar, he commissioned a professional two-stage paint correction and Gtechniq ceramic coating treatment, helping to preserve the excellent appearance it enjoys today.

Particularly noteworthy is the exceptional level of maintenance and investment undertaken during the current ownership. Invoices totalling almost £18,500 document extensive expenditure during the last six years, the majority carried out by renowned Jaguar specialist Tom Lenthall Ltd. Works undertaken include significant suspension refurbishment, a steering rack overhaul, brake system refurbishment and upgrades, air suspension compressor replacement, wheel bearing replacement, supercharger belt and tensioner renewal, cooling system maintenance and numerous other mechanical improvements. Desirable enhancements include the installation of the popular JagDroid infotainment system, a reversing camera and EBC performance brake components. The comprehensive history file is complemented by a stamped service record comprising 17 services between 2007 and 2025, together with the original handbooks, two keys and a substantial collection of invoices. The cherished registration number 'OO03 XJR' is also included within the sale.

A superb and increasingly sought-after example of this rare limited-edition super saloon, benefitting from the care of a passionate enthusiast owner and an extraordinary level of recent expenditure. Offering exclusivity, luxury and supercharged V8 performance in equal measure, it is equally suited to continental touring, weekend enjoyment or regular use as a modern classic.
