My wife has the 300hp version which we are driving from Wales to Vienna next week. It is the convertible model, but there is plenty of room for six cabin bags and a medium suitcase. Its been with us six years and still gets the thumbs up from us, and passers-by. Light upholstery is essential for every convertible, whatever make, but especially a Jaguar, so you can revel in the superb leather craftsmanship. A grand tourer with style, don't hesitate.

Brilliant video. Completely agree regarding the R over the XK! Totally different animal. I made the same error while starting the jag first time. Unlike a BMW, etc, where you just give the start button a quick press and off it goes, you have to actually hold the button down while the starter turns over and release when you hear the v8 roar. It adds to the drama 😁👍

I had the same XKR, got it during the “C” times, 12k, it was low mileage and had a bespoke cherry red interior that the first owner paid 6k to have re-trimmed a week after collection! I removed the exhaust mid-boxes to make it proper asbo grandad spec 😂 and had some of the chrome bits painted and wrapped black, changed the front grilles for a later style black version, sold for 15k after a year ownership, nice cars 👍

On the rare occasion I had to leave a proxy bid at BCA I miraculously always won the car at the exact amount of my bid. I wouldn't trust BCA as far as I could throw them.

@@BarryRudge I have a XKRS I know how much these things cost to fix up, a subframe on these is a substantial repair and it's likely other suspension parts will also be required - I would have £1500 at hand for such a job, at the bare minimum.

You’ve got some stones on you that’s for sure. Try disconnecting the battery for an hour (I didn’t leave it that long) and see if the screen comes on. I smoked Jags round for a few years, one of them had the dead screen thing. On the way back from buying it from Brighouse I disconnected the battery and it all came back on. It would do it every 9 months or so. Just seen it was an amp, at least it’s fixed 👍
