1991 Jaguar XJR-S 6.0-Litre Coupé
Registration no. K619 KDU
Chassis no. SAJJKES3ER183372
Engine no. 8WO10576SC
• Upgraded 6.0-litre V12 with Zytek engine management
• Automatic transmission
• Showing circa 14,000 kilometres (approximately 8,700 miles) on the odometer
• Formerly part of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Collection

In 1984 Tom Walkinshaw won the European Touring Car Championship behind the wheel of a Jaguar XJ-S. During this time, Walkinshaw was producing body and suspension kits for the XJ-S at his JaguarSport company as significant improvements over the standard XJ-S, leading to the factory authorising an official model incorporating Walkinshaw's upgrades: the XJR-S.

Owned 50:50 by Jaguar and TWR, JaguarSport released a special version of the XJR-S in 1988, which featured the 5.3-litre V12 engine; a unique body kit; alloy wheels; and suspension and handling improvements. JaguarSport would produce 100 of these new XJR-S cars as the 'Celebration Le Mans' models to commemorate Jaguar's win at the Le Mans 24-Hour race in 1988. The 100 Celebration models would be sold exclusively in the UK, while an extra 226 XJR-S models would be produced up to 1989 with the 5.3-litre engine. From September 1989, the XJR-S would be fitted with the upgraded 6.0-litre V12 and Zytek engine management system. This new engine was an upgrade of the standard V12 found in the late XJ-S. The new XJR-S would be produced until 1993 with a total of 787 coupés and 50 convertibles built.

The 1991 XJR-S on offer is one of the most original and one of the lowest mileage examples on the market today, with only 14,160 kilometres (approximately 8,800 miles) on the odometer. Ordered in Brooklands Green with a Warm Charcoal interior, the car became part of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Collection in 1997. The list of options includes the following: automatic transmission; Alpine AJ9150W audio equipment; 4-ohm speakers; no rear badges, anti-lock brakes; unique TWR wheels; limited-slip differential; XJ40 gear knob, colour-keyed; air conditioning; headlamp power wash; no front fog lights; no tread-plate inserts; no coach lines; no grille; cruise control; high-mounted stop lamp; driver's air bag; sapwood veneer; black steering wheel; Sport trim; Warm Charcoal facia; Saville headlining; Smoke Grey carpet; Warm Charcoal main cabin colour; Warm Charcoal seatbelts; twin needle stitching; and Warm Charcoal welts.

Described by the vendor as in good condition in all respects, this rare and exciting high-performance Jaguar is offered with a Heritage Certificate, old sales descriptions, bills for works carried out, and a V5C Registration Certificate. Spare keys are present.

JAGUAR XJR-S Coupe

Registration Number K619 KDU

Chassis Number SAJJSKES3ER183372

Engine Number 8W010576SC

Transmission Automatic

Body Colour Brooklands Green

Previously owned by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, a superb example with 14,172km, or just 8,806 miles, from new and a detailed history file. Generously offered with a period TWR Tom Walkinshaw race suit.

Ordered from new in right-hand drive and finished in Brooklands Green with a Warm Charcoal interior, this fabulous example was originally destined for a Far Eastern client, hence the kilometre odometer, and the service book’s first page is stamped Jaguar Cars Ltd., Company Vehicles, Browns Lane, Coventry and dated 28th June 1993. In 1997 it became part of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Collection and was later sold by JD Classics for a substantial sum!

Our enthusiast vendor has generously included a Tom Walkinshaw TWR race suit to commemorate the car’s pedigree and the car is presented to auction with a detailed history file, Heritage Certificate, fitted car cover and historic receipts. A fresh service and MOT will be carried out prior to the auction. With 14,172 kilometres or just 8,806 miles from new, at the time of cataloguing, this is a very special car, with an impeccable pedigree.
