2010 Jaguar XKR

This rare 2010 Jaguar XKR 5.0 ‘Black Pack/Speed Pack’ has covered just 53,000 miles from new.

On the occasion of its 2013 MoT a decade ago the mileage was recorded as being 13,578.

By any measure, 40,000 miles of motoring in the 10 intervening years is pretty light usage.

Which is why the vendor, who has quite a few cars to his name, has decided to sell – he’s just not getting enough use out of it.

It comes in the unusual and very striking combination of Salsa Red with black leather and all the fixtures and fittings that come with the ‘Black Pack’/’Speed Pack’ combination.

This really is a car that demands, deserves and gets your attention.

And so it should.

This car comes with the ‘Speed Pack’, which allowed customers to extend the car’s top speed from 155mph (250km/h) to an electronically limited 174mph (280km/h).

But there’s more.

This particular example also comes with a 2021 engine remap (Superchips), which has taken the performance to 560bhp and 699Nm.

Consequently, it makes a noise like a recently spurned velociraptor with anger management issues and it goes like a scalded cheetah.

It’s really very brisk indeed.

The bodywork is very good and there are no dents, creases or dinks of any significance to report.

The only small aberration we spotted is that the strip at the base of the front valance is slightly pulling away from the adjacent bodywork on both sides.

There are a few stone chips and minor outbreaks of road rash in the usual places – front valance, wheel arches, the front of the bonnet and the ‘nose’ of the car.

The vibrant red paintwork is very good, too, and the finish has retained plenty of lustre and shine.

There are a few small paint chips on the bonnet and some scuffs beneath the n/s/f light cluster.

Both rear wings have a couple of small stone chips in evidence and there’s a small scuff on the passenger door just back from the Jaguar badging on the flank.

The glossy black 20” wheels are in fine condition and seem to be unacquainted with any kerbs or other hazards.

The matching Pirelli P-Zeros are in good condition, with the two front tyres being very recent additions.

The car’s trim, badging, lights (there’s an LED that needs replacing on the high level brake light mounted in the spoiler), lenses, and other exterior fixtures and fittings are all good.

The good news continues uninterrupted on the inside.

The perforated black leather hide is untroubled by the vicissitudes of time, wear or use save for a few light scuffs on the outer bolsters of both front seats.

The rear seats look practically unused, which is not altogether surprising.

The carpets and mats are in fine fettle.

So, too, is the headlining.

Ditto the door cards.

The dashboard and controls all seem fine and are free of any meaningful signs of ageing.

We didn’t press every button, flick every switch or pull every toggle, but everything we did manage to press, flick and pull worked as intended.

The boot is in equally strong condition.

The very full engine bay looks as you would hope to find in a car that’s covered just 53,000 miles in 13 years. Everything appears to be in its right and proper place.

The undersides of the car seem to have plenty of structural integrity, although you’ll want to see for yourself and reach your own conclusions.

The service book has main dealer stamps all the way through and a couple of more recent stamps form respected specialists.

There are various bills, receipts and invoices covering work done since then.

The car’s MoT is valid until 4.4.24.

The car comes with two sets of keys, only one of which appears to be working at present.

This is a formidable example of one of Jaguar’s best and most accomplished GT cars.

The ‘Black Pack’ gives it real presence and makes it stand out from any crowd.

The ‘Speed Pack’ enables it to unleash a thunderously Wagnerian roar of power and smash through the horizon like a jet fighter

The combination of the two – and the fact that this is a properly curated and cared-for car – make it very rare, very special and very sought-after.

Go on.

You know you want to.
