Car to be at auction 11/16
www.brightwells.com/classic-motoring/auctions/classic-vintage-november-2016/cata ...

Auction description:
Estimate £18,000 - £20,000
Registration Date 1985
Registration Number C992 PUJ
Make & Model Jaguar XJS 3.6 Manual Race Car
Colour Green
Chassis No. JNAEC7CC125656
Engine size 3,600 cc
Engine No. 90PAMA102482
Documents V5C; MOT August 2017 with no advisories; invoices; photos; booklets

First registered in May 1986, this particular 3.6 manual started out in life as a regular XJS until the vendor acquired it in 1994. A keen driver and lifelong Jaguar enthusiast, he soon embarked on a rolling programme of upgrades which resulted in the magnificent machine you see here. Over £20,000 has been spent to convert the car into a recreation of the famous XJS TWR race car, including a professional respray to TWR Jaguar Racing Green with professionally applied decals.

The exact specification is too detailed to list in full here but is amply documented in many bills on file. Highlights include: limited slip diff; fully adjustable race suspension, polybushed throughout; large racing brake discs and pads; K&N filter; Kenlowe fan; roll cage; TRS 5-point harnesses; fire extinguisher; engine cut-off switch; stainless steel exhaust; 18" racing wheels shod with Yokohama racing tyres.

Fully road legal with an MOT until August 2017 with no advisories recorded, the car has covered some 86,200 miles to date, including several competitive outings where it has always proved totally reliable and has acquitted itself well, often against far more sophisticated machinery. It's last event was at Donnington just a month before the auction, where some of the photos on the website were taken.

Ideal as a fast road car or an occasional track day tool, it looks like a lot of fun at the sensible guide price suggested.
