Jaguar XJR

The X300 XJR paired Jaguar's supercharged straight-six with a four-speed automatic, and this right-hand-drive 1997 example comes from an unusual source: it was supplied new to Japan and stayed there until 2019. Japan's mild weather and lack of road salt are the reason the page gives for the bodyshell and underside being in such good order.

The colour is a rare Aquamarine, set against a cream leather interior with charcoal wood trim. It rides on 17-inch five-spoke sport wheels in light gold, and has no sunroof. Equipment includes heated and electric seats, climate and cruise control, a trip computer, a rear blind and an Alpine stereo with a six-CD changer.

It shows 54,000 miles. It was highly commended at the Coventry Concours in 2023 and still has its book pack, jack, space saver and unopened under-bonnet toolkit. It has been owned since import in 2019 by a senior ex-Jaguar Land Rover engineer.
