Default 2002 Jaguar XKR 100 Convertible

Sadly it's time for me to part with her, she's been a blast to drive and pretty reliable!

60,072 miles, anthracite paint, BBS Montreal wheels, Brembo Brakes

Replaced the hydraulic roof lines. She runs great!

I wanted to give everyone here @ Jaguarforums first pick, it's not up anywhere else.

I've decided to keep it for now.

Is an XKR100 a variant ? Something different about it?

Yes.

Taken from Forbes magazine:

"To celebrate the 100th birthday of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons, this year Jaguar will sell 300 XKR 100 cars in North America. True, you pay quite a premium for that limited-edition status. It costs about 17 grand more for the coupe version of the XKR 100 than for the stock hardtop XKR, but only $12,000 more for the convertible version. And although there will be fewer coupes, don't go thinking you'll somehow get that collector- car value back in your lifetime. Buy the convertible and enjoy driving it; don't buy it for mothballing.

OK, so what do you get that you don't get in the stock XKR? Well, not added engine performance. Stock XKRs get a 370 horsepower supercharged V-8 and a sport-tuned suspension with computer-actuated ride control that automatically picks either firm or soft ride settings in response to your driving style. In other words, with 0-60 times around five seconds flat, the XKR is pretty hairy-chested already. However, if you want a bit better cornering agility, you'll be pleased with the added grip of the 20-inch BBS modular wheels shod with even wider, lower rubber than stock (255/35ZR-20 front, 285/30ZR-20 rear, versus 245/45ZR-18 front, 255/45ZR-18 rear for the stock XKR).

The XKR 100 also gets special Brembo brakes with cross-drilled rotors for better cooling, and some minor-performance suspension tweaks as well.

The rest is cosmetic: anthracite-colored paint, Recaro leather seats (covered in Connolly hide leather--you won't get that if you just order them from Recaro, by the way) and aluminum cockpit trim. "

Sorry to hear you're selling your XKR.

The '100 Centenary' edition was very limited and the 150 allocated to the UK were snapped up quickly. The UK Jaguar Press Release may be of interest to you and help answer questions like that from jeffn.

Hope you find a buyer quickly and get near the asking price.
