Is that the real reg, because it doesn't seem to exist ?

Go here to check the MOT history:

From the location of your first choice of the black car, I think I'm pretty near you. If I see a red car coming up fast behind me, I'll know who it is 😁

Well, What a drive home it was. Husband and i shared the drive home. Not sure sport with dynamic mode and tunnels is safe with us God was it Fun! Not sure its sunk in that its ours yet. But looking forward to lots of fun and a few jag meets. Already had quite a few people asking questions about it, including a taxi driver as soon as i got home, He got a little excited as he had never seen one.

I was going to post up to say do it! I went from my Boss 302 that made ~650-680HP at the crank to this and the car is a beast!

But since you went for it, Congrats!!! The Italian Racing Red is gorgeous!!!

It does look very good in Red!
I nearly bought that very same car way back in November 2015- the Jaguar dealer was Lookers Amersham and they had two Pre-registered XFR-S's for sale a White one and a Red one- I preferred the Red one but my wife wanted the White one so we got the White one which I still have (I will be keeping for many years to come).



Enjoy, Cas

Hi, yes I use it when I can- I am doing about 10,000 miles a year in the XFR-S and also have an Abarth 595 which I use for nipping to the shops or parking at the airport/train station etc as I don’t want the Jag to get any parking Dings (some people are so carless when opening their doors)…

I also tend to use the Abarth when the weather is bad as the XFR-S a bit “lively” in the wet or when there is frost on the roads :-)

Is there a difference (other than age) of the older XFR-S and the newer XF R-S from a performance perspective?

Hi, I might be wrong but I don’t think there are two different RS versions of the XF - there was the XFR-S (or XF R-S depending where you put the space when typing) of which I believe Jaguar made a total of 200 saloon cars (100 for Europe and 100 for North America) with 550hp from the 5.0L Supercharged V8.

There is also the R-Sport version of the XF which looking on Autotrader seems to a 2.2 Diesel with either 161hp or 197hp (I would have thought they would have done a 3.0L as well but did not see any on-line).
