JAGUAR XK R COUPE (1998) – A Rare Single-Owner Collector’s Gem

History and Provenance:
Sold new by the Jaguar dealership in Como on November 13, 1998, to its first and only owner, a prominent entrepreneur from Brescia. Although the car was registered to different companies within his group over the years for fiscal reasons, it remained his exclusive personal vehicle for over 25 years.
Mechanical Excellence:
While the chassis has a total of 94,150 km, a significant mechanical intervention adds immense value to this specimen: on August 30, 2001 (at 60,000 km), the engine was entirely replaced by the official Jaguar dealership due to a mechanical failure. Therefore, the engine currently installed has covered only 34,000 km.
Used exclusively for leisure, the car was later joined in the garage by the convertible version of the same model, which is why its usage has significantly decreased over the last two decades, preserving its condition.
Documentation and Maintenance:
The car comes complete with its original service, maintenance, and warranty books, all housed in the original Jaguar leather wallet. It still retains its original 1998 license plates and registration document. It has been regularly submitted to biennial mandatory technical inspections (MOT/Revisione) throughout its life; the latest inspection is valid until September 2027.
