Overview

Every great model line deserves a proper send-off, and for the X100 XKR that was the 4.2-S, better known to those in the know as the "White Badge". Built as a run-out special edition to mark the end of X100 production, it's believed that only around 200 were made. Underneath sits the 4.2-litre supercharged V8, with 400bhp and 408lb ft heading to the rear wheels through a six-speed ZF automatic. The "White Badge" model also came with stiffer springs, firmer dampers, uprated anti-roll bars, sharper steering, a10mm lowered ride height and a top speed raised from 155mph to 175mph

The name comes from the nose, and on this car the Jaguar Supercharged growler wears a white surround with chequered-flag accents, a theme picked up by the chequered-flag tread plates on the sills. Recaro sports seats, cross-drilled Brembo brakes with red calipers and 20-inch BBS split-rims were reportedly commonly specified on the edition, and this car has all three. The edition was reportedly offered in just a few colours, and this car's Copper Black over Ivory leather is about as rich and grown-up as it gets.

This car's Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate confirms the XKR 4.2 S designation and that Copper Black over Ivory spec, which is exactly the reassurance you want with something this special. Supplied new through Jaguar Land Rover Japan, it came to the UK in 2017.

The paint holds a deep gloss, the Ivory and burr walnut cabin is a lovely place to sit, and that white badge tells everyone what you're driving. It's a rare, well-presented send-off for the X100 XKR, and it's ready for its next owner to enjoy.
