XKR 100 identification
 
Hi all

I’m new in this section, and that’s because I don’t have an XK !

Could you help me either by identifying this VIN as XKR100 (or not) or by giving me some unmistakable points to identify it by ?
Seller claims it’s an XKR100, I just want to be sure...

The easiest way to tell without all the VIN stuff is a picture of the engine. Does it have a Supercharger sitting in the center of the engine and letters saying supercharged. If it does it is an XKR if it doesn't it's and XK8

It is for sure an XKR with supercharger, I just want to be sure it’s the XKR100 limited edition (500 pcs), as the seller claims it is...

There is no way you can identify an XKR100 from the VIN because they were not consecutive and Jaguar have not published a list of the VIN's.

The ONLY way to be SURE it's GENUINE is the original invoice or a specification printout from a Jaguar Dealer or Jaguar Heritage.

Anyone could have added the trim items to make it look like an XKR100.

So now that's out the way, have you bought it?

leo_denmark 06-07-2018 10:18 AM

It’s a friend, that is looking at it. I’m pretty sure he will buy it now. Otherwise I will be disappointed...

This one, I imagine:

Looks good and the price seems right, for this part of the world, anyway.


(For anyone on the other side of the pond - please don't do the currency conversion. Or do - it will make you feel very lucky to be where you are).


Good luck to your friend.
