My Jaguar XKR 2012, 5.0Ltr. Convertible


Being in my late 70s it became necessary to start thinking about future accommodation and the inevitable downsizing that included the question, "What do I do with four classic Jaguars. Once our future accommodation was sorted, it was determined that only two cars could come with us to our new apartment.

It was clear that the Jaguar XJC Restomod was a keeper. So that left the Jaguar 2013 XF, the Jaguar 1992 XJS convertible, the Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 MOD and the Jaguar 2008 LWB X358 4.2, had to go!

I always said to my wife that if I was left on my own and still had my license, the car I wanted was an XKR (Runout model 2010-2014).  And then it happened, I fell in love with an XKR convertible with just 36,000 klms on the clock. Love at first sight.  As my wife repeatedly points out . . "Not a very practical car Philip", but then whenever was practicality the most important consideration? So here is my 2012 Jaguar XKR 5.0ltr. supercharged convertible.  I just LOVE IT!
