Jaguar XKRS

[toffee]

Very seriously thinking about getting one of these. Coupe in blue of course!

A few around at the moment and not selling very fast at all. Guess quite a limited/specialist market.

Not sure what else there is at same current price point, with the performance, other than a porsche, which I don't want!

What are views on future values of the XKRS, how far to fall do people think?

Also, what are the alternatives?
Not Porsche or Aston, need sufficient boot/ back seats for camping at Le Mans (counts f type out) and I love a V8!

Any views/ideas welcome.

Depreciation, probably a bit to go yet I reckon, they're not a very limited edition like the 4.2 XKRS was, there were only 200 of those.

Alternatives, Maserati Granturismo perhaps? They have rear seats you can actually use - I guess you've never seen the inside rear of an XK/R/RS?

What? Of course he has - he's seriously thinking about getting one.

Why would he be looking for a four-seater?

Thanks for the responses.

I have driven a few XKRs and owned an early one, so yes, I know the back seat limitations!
Just want them for extra storage TBH .

Anyway, going to get one and see how I go

Get the french racing blue - that is what i wanted in the first place too - it is a wonderful colour - but wifey asked for divorce if would not buy in black - so i bought in black + i had to get rid of the rear wing and replace it with the Aero Pack wing until she stopped yelling

French racing blue coupe XKRS bought, no wife to shout at me, although not told my husband yet!

Steady on, put the military-grade keyboard down before you hurt yourself. She didn't say she'd actually driven one or even looked closely so it was perfectly reasonable to point out the the rear seats aren't up to much.

@toffee, well done - I wish my wife would just go out and buy one of these!

[toffee]

Photos will be posted when I actually get the car, can't wait

I even got round to telling my husband!

Thanks all for your input and glad you all appear to approve

He was pleased I think, quite surprised he liked the blue colour though, normally quite conservative.

Now waiting for next week and delivery - I will post pictures asap.

Blue is a fantastic colour

Blue is the best colour by far for the XKRS,too many black and white guys out there

edited to add - I see now that the OP is Julia which would be a mighty strange name for a bloke (not that I'm judging! lol)...

Dammit macar you had to tease me

Lovely car. I had an XKR and it was fantastic. I enjoyed the XKR more than my DB9 and Maserati Grandturismo S MC Shift! Say's a lot. It's such a fantastic car to drive and costs peanuts to run too!
