The end of line XKR-S was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on 1st March 2005. Features for the XKR-S included new exterior and interior colours and two distinct veneer options for the instrument panel, polished door treadplates with chequered-flag emblems and embossed, leather-edged floor mats. New unique 20-inch split rim BBS Perseus performance wheels plus cross-drilled Brembo brake discs and red brake calipers were also fitted. The XKR-S gained firmer springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, steering is 10% quicker and the ride height was lowered by 10mm. The electronic speed limiter was removed to enable the car to reach a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). Production was limited to only 200 cars in four new exclusive exterior colours - Copper Black Metallic, Frost Blue Metallic, Bay Blue Metallic and Satin Silver Metallic.

The car we have here is beautifully presented in Frost Blue Metallic with Ivory leather interior and Recaro sports seats. Given the exceedingly low mileage of just 24,403 miles, this example is in fantastic condition throughout. The paint work gleams and is free of dents or any damage and the interior shows very little sign of ageing. The service book shows this example was serviced by Jaguar main dealers up until being sold in 2018 by Arun, an independent Jaguar dealer. Since then, it has been serviced by Arun Jaguar and by Tom Lenthall Ltd, another highly respected Jaguar specialist. The front dampers were changed by Tom Lenthall Ltd in 2021, but it really hasn't required much work other than regular maintenance in its 24,000 miles. These last of line 'White badge' XKR-S' are hugely desirable today and are certainly the best of the X100 XK range. To add to its allure, this XKR-S is ULEZ exempt, so would make a perfect modern classic for use in London. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until September 2025 and a history file containing all owner's manuals, service book and a good selection of invoices detailing works carried out over the years.
