For sale my very nice Jaguar XJR100 - USD17,000

Very rare. Only 500 made worldwide in 2002 in celebration of what would have been the 100th birthday of Sir William Lyons.

Special features includes the full range of R performance options, limited edition leather interiors, upgraded sound system, unique new exterior colour, 19 inch alloys, upgraded braking system and XJR100 signage.

This example is in excellent condition inside and out. I purchased the car in August 2010 when I moved to the USA from the UK (always drove Jags in the UK and wasn't going to live without one here). I had always wanted an XJR100 - for me it represents a pinnacle in Jaguar design (a personal preference). I managed to track one down to a garage in New Jersey. It seems that the car had one owner prior to myself from new and he traded it in for a new Kia (takes all sorts!). I flew down, purchased it on the spot and drove it back home to the Buffalo/Niagara Falls region.

I have printouts of the full service history prior to my purchase and since I have owned it I have had it meticulously looked after by a local garage that specialises in European cars (2 of the mechanics also drive Jags) and will pass on the file of all the papers with the car.

I live in a snowbelt but have never driven the car in the snow - too nice and too much power in the back wheels! It sits under a custom fit cover that will also come along with the car.

In the interests of full disclosure the only problems known to me:
- The previous owner kerbed the wheels a couple of times and there are minor dings in the wheel trims of the 2 part alloys on one side
- The headliner above the passenger seat is sagging slightly (apparently a common problem)
- The plastic clip holding the internal 2 part sun roof cover has broken and the back part gets left behind in the roof void until you hook it back out (again another common problem)
- it also currently needs a new O2 sensor but they have the part in my garage waiting for a break in the weather for me to get it fitted. So this will be fixed prior to sale.

As above I live in the Western New York area (Buffalo/Niagara Falls).

The current mileage is approx 82,000

The asking price is USD17,000

I have been tracking the prices on autotrader and recently they have started to go up with there being a recognition of the rarity and collectable nature of this model.
