XJR 100 questions

[Idiustidius]

Hi

I am looking into getting a non-nikasil V8 XJR, it seems that they go for circa £3500 - £5000. I am wondering how much more expensive the XJR 100 models are? How much do they go for these days?

What is it about them apart from the 500 made that sets them apart from other XJRs?

Cheers

19" Montreal wheels, red stitching on black leather, i think, and brembo brakes.

Apparently there were only 89 sold in the UK. There is a very nice looking 38000 mile example for sale in the Jaguar Enthusiasts magazine but I'm not sure if it's advertised anywhere else. It's up for £11500.

There have been a couple on the Jaguar Approved network last year too - can't remember what the asking prices were.

My advice would be to go for a 2002 car on a 51, or fairly rare a 02 plate, avoid the brembo option, it’s not worth the additional cost of replacement parts.

I bought one last year and paid 10K for it. Though I suspect that I may have over paid slightly.

Its a 2002 on a 51 plate, great cars. Main differences are black leather with red stitching, brembos, montreal wheels and grey maple.

I know I'm biased, but they do look the business.

They look the business and they are rare.

Bought one last year myself. Have driven Jags for years now and was thinking of
up-grading to a Portfolio. Seriously think i am sticking with the 100. never had a car admired sooooo much.

P.S. paid 10k last year. These are very sought after.
P.P.S. 82 in uk not 87

10k?? Jeepers, they need to be special, i have bought 4 'normal' XJR's for less than £8.5k total. Do the Brembos really make much difference in normal everyday driving, ie not on a track day?

We have one of the 82 then, I thought they were also highly speced with the upgraded stero, sat nav, phone etc well ours has any way.

The XJR (300, 308, 350) are all very nice cars and I would always recommend them 2nd hand as you get so much car for your money. The deal with the 100 was to celebrate Jaguars 100th birthday so you could get a 100 in XJR, XKR coupe, & convertible, but all came in black IIRC.

[Idiustidius]

Yes

Well its not the brembos etc that atracts me, its the fact that its a limited edition of one of my fav cars, and probably the best looking XJR ever made, but admittedly, 10k is too costly for me, my budget is circa 6-7. Ahh well, i'll have to look for a normal one :-(

[Cecil]

You will easily get one of the run out x308 xjr models for that money, and have plenty left to do the chains and tensioners etc. if required. With the right options the only real difference to the 100 would be the red stitching, badge and possibly the kick plates. Don’t forget to price the cost of replacement disks and pads for the brembo option from an Jag independent before you commit, it caught me and a few others out by surprise, some threads on here if you do a search.
IMHO the S type R is nice but the X308 XJR is beautiful.
Good luck,
Cecil

[Jeggers]

Yes they do Drummerboy
