Heads Up If anyone wants a Portfolio Edition XKR they will let it go for $16500. They only made 100 of these in the Jupiter Red Color. Thought I would share with the community.

Nice find, price makes it worth taking a look at. Too bad it's in FL, to far away for me.

 

Certainly is an interesting color combination.

 

I'm sure it's just me but I don't like the Portfolio editions. Both the blue and the red mixed with the wood trim looks like a high school kid got ahold of the car and tried customizing it.

Other wise not a bad price for a low mile 04 XKR.

 

Been for sale over 140+ days, maybe it's the color combo?

 

Color combo is not a choice with the Portfolio--it is either blue exterior with slightly clashing blue interior or red exterior with horribly clashing orangey/red interior. So if you don't like those color options don't be looking for a Portfolio.

Love the exterior color combination and certainly well priced.

 

You could always have the car wrapped. I have been thinking of having my wheels done in matte black.


Or this.


Although it looks rather good on this.


However, the part I find most interesting is that they have the 'Allen' Key, or Hex Head, Top Latch Manual Release Tool in the Cockpit at the ready. This would lead me to believe there is something wrong with the Top, or it is just starting to leak at the Top Latch Ram. It also lists the vehicle as having Adaptive Cruise Control, which is does not, as the switch for the Forward Alert is not on the Knee Bolster next to the Valet Switch, and the Radar Module is not behind the Nose Cone, unless it has been painted body color and it cannot be seen, also the Follow Mode Radio Buttons are not on the side of the Cruise Control Switch-Pack.

 

Wish jaguar would've done more classic color combos that would stand the test of time. Something like Silver over Red, that would enhance the cars appeal as a classic

 

The Portfolio XKR and the Silverstone XKR will be the most sought after models when it comes to classic cars in the X100 model. Again they only made limited production of these models so if you can grab one now now is the time. Im glad I grabbed one myself.

 

The 05-06 xkr's are the most collectibles, and prices reflect it. From my understanding, these special editions where just appearance packages. They really didn't include any upgrades over stock

 

06 Model had the Victory edition. But in terms of true collectibles 01 Silverstone and 04 Portfolio they made smaller numbers of these vs the Victory Edition. I checked the prices and the prices reflect this. Keep in mind the Detroit Wheels are on both the Silverstone and Portfolio which are the best wheels for the X100 model in my opinion.

 

Seeing this I know now I don't need to envy those with the Portfolio edition. I agree with the commenter who thought it tacky. Restrained style is precisely what I love about the XK8.

Again the Portfolio and the Silverstone models will be the collectibles. I have a Portfolio and by far its my favorite in the X100 models. So better act fast

 

I love the XK series but I just don't see them gaining in the collector community. The prices are still soft and tend to take a long time to sell. Automatic 2+2's historically are not the hottest in the collector car world. The current trend is for ultra low mileage examples (sub 10k) of all marques. Those may start to gain as most X100s are pretty high mileage.

 

You keep telling us we better act fast and the Porfolio and Silverstone models are the collectibles!
That car has been on the market for 4 months and the consensus in this thread is the "Special" edition models have little to no extra value not to mention the Red and Blue Portfolio's are not a very attractive color combo, IMHO, however your are certainly welcome to your own opinion.
Just don't expect everyone else to drink the KOOL AIDE.

 

Everyone has an opinion. I owned a couple XKR's and now I have a Jupiter Red Portfolio. The others I owned in the past they were awesome. But the tan and cream leather with the standard brown wood grain gave them a classical feel. Don't get me wrong I loved the classical feel of my other XKR's I once owned but I was yearning for something more modern. I must say the Portfolio Edition gave me the same car with a more modern feel. With this being said my Portfolio with the 2 toned leather black and red with the best grey wood grain combo with Recaro Racing Seats sitting on 20's I must say it puts the X100 at another level by far. One thing about this Portfolio edition it feels so modern in fact it feels like a brand new car. Think about it most modern cars on the market are using 2 toned interiors especially the F-Type. In fact some people think this is a brand new car thats how modern the Portfolio is. I was on a quest of getting a Portfolio XKR for about 6-7 years. I went on vacation last year and for the first time I noticed a Portfolio XKR. I knew right then and there I must get one and when I returned I did. In person the Portfolio is a cut above and the best model in the X100 with the modern feel. I don't care what anyone else says but I own one and this Portfolio Edition by far is the best ever X100 I ever owned. Feels good riding in a modern feel X100.

 

That's all that matters, enjoy your ride!

 

Anyone grabbed it yet ?

 

Someone better grab it price has dropped. You should put in offer from 15k-16k now.
