According to the ad, this XKR has 128,064 miles on the clock. That’s Baby Bear just right—not too low to mean everything has dried up from lack of use, nor too high, having worn the car out. Being a coupe means that it is rarer than the convertible (9,661 produced versus 13,895 drop tops). It also offers a stiffer, most likely less creaky body, and doesn’t suffer the ticking time bomb of the convertible’s hydraulics.

Along with the perfectly serviceable and seemingly unmarred exterior, this Jag’s interior seems equally up to the task. The seats are only lightly bolstered, this being more of a GT than an out-and-out sports car, and those show little wear from occupants entering and exiting. The back seats are nigh on useless, offering space only suitable for amputees. Still, the covering looks intact even if the space appears uninviting. The dashboard is a massive wall of walnut into which are set the instruments, some HVAC vents, and a cute little screen for the car’s computer. That shows the interior’s age, as does the mass of buttons below and the cassette deck stereo set amid them. Despite that old-school look, it’s all there and appears to be working.
