The Jaguar XJS has long been cemented as one of the brands all time greats. One of the longest running models in the marque’s impressive history, the XJS has aged like a fine wine and stands today as an incredibly collectible piece of Jaguar history. With such a long production run it's only natural that there would be several variations, designs and facelifts, but the car we have here might be the rarest, and certainly one of the most interesting of them all.
The Jaguar XJR-S was the result of Jaguar Sport and Tom Walkinshaw Racing coming together to make a truly special performance coupe, with over 170 unique parts, both performance and aesthetic, versus the standard XJS, the all new performance model was quite the automobile and gave serious rivalry to offerings from BMW and Porsche at the time.
Early XJR-S’ came equipped with 5.3 litre V12s but post 1989 that would be upgraded to 6.0 litres. Built in incredibly small numbers these later 6.0 litre cars are an impressively rare sight today, with just 115 RHD examples understood to have been made, making this car a real rarity.
Smartly presented and enthusiast owned for the last 17 years, its certainly a good one, and not one to miss if you’re in the market for a thoroughly rare and interesting classic Jaguar.
Purchased by the current keeper in 2006, used for several years before being put into dry storage circa 2015, and then brought back out earlier this year
Accompanied by a solid selection of invoices for work done and parts bought to maintain the car
Jaguar book pack present with manuals and owners literature
A rare and impressively capable monster, the Jaguar XJR-S is a wonderful slice of high performance classic super coupe, and a lesser seen one at that.
With just 115 RHD examples understood to have been made with the higher capacity 6.0 litre V12, this is an undeniably rare car and one that will surely be enough to draw the appeal of even the most astute Jaguar enthusiast. Good examples, in fact any examples seldom come to market and the one we have here must surely be one of the finer preserved XJR-S’ out there on the roads today.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
