Jaguar XKR-S Convertible - For Sale at £103k in the UK We noticed yesterday that Jaguar in the US seemed to have confirmed that the US price for the new Jaguar XKR-S Convertible - currently strutting its stuff at the L.A. Auto show – is $138,875, and that the States is getting just 25 cars, which have all been sold.

Which is exactly what you’d expect with a major launch at a major motor show looming.
