Market commentary
The "Silverstone" edition XKR was introduced to celebrate Jaguar's (ultimately forgettable) entry into Formula One, and features special paint and badges, handling and transmission upgrades, special wheels and a better interior. The engine stayed the same, but the 370-horse V-8 (which got the same supercharger as the Ford Lightning pickup) packed a lot of performance for the early 2000s. Old XKRs are temptingly affordable (to buy, anyway), and after only some mild bidding activity this one brought only a slight premium over a standard production model. After a no-sale at a $16,000 high bid at RM's Palm Beach online sale in March, the seller should be happy with this fair price.
