2001 Jaguar XKR Convertible
Description
Jaguar has a long tradition of building wonderfully styled coupes and convertibles that are among the world’s finest and most luxurious grand touring heritage. The Jaguar ‘X100’ generation is a modern interpretation of this glorious tradition. First launched in 1996, it featured the new 4.0-liter AJ-V8 engine. Two years later, Jaguar launched the XKR. The ‘R’ badge, affixed to the flagship performance car of the Jaguar range, denotes a car with state-of-the-art technology, dramatic styling, and an effortlessly thrilling drive. Available as a coupe or convertible, the XKR is the car for those individuals looking for a unique blend of British luxury, power, and charm that only a Jaguar can deliver.

Ownership History
The accompanying Carfax report first shows this XKR Convertible in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in late 2000 before heading to Arizona just a year later. The car was next in California before Colorado, where damage was reported without further details. The car then moved on to Pennsylvania before moving to South Carolina with the current owner.
