1990 G JAGUAR XJS 6.0 TWR XJR-S JAGUARSPORT XJRS

Description

We are pleased to have purchased this stunning Jaguar XJR-S finished in Solent Blue coachwork. Hand-built at JaguarSport in Kidlington by the TWR engineers who had worked on the XJ220. Launched in 1988, JaguarSport was a 50/50 joint venture between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaws TWR (not to be confused with Jaguar-Sport), a relationship that had begun with the famous TWR-prepared XJS that dominated Touring Cars in the 1980s. The JaguarSport XJR-S may have looked similar to their production counterparts but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and, of course, its 6.0-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system, Zytek engine management and a low-loss true dual exhaust system were part of the cars advanced specification. The Hydramatic GM400 was modified with different changing points to better suit the 6-litre car and a Salisbury limited-slip differential was standard. The suspension was further developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR-S. Externally, the cars were modified with a subtly aggressive body kit, 16" Speedline aerodynamic wheels and host of modifications inside included a bespoke Connolly Autolux leather interior and the steering wheel was made for JaguarSport by Momo of Milan. They were normally built to order with cars being transported from Browns Lane to Kidlington to be hand-finished. At £45,500, it was £11,000 more than the 5.3 which explains why a little over 500 were made (115 in RHD) before production stopped in 1993 making them highly sought-after today. These are rare cars and not to be confused with the cars from Jaguar-Sport or individual TWR cars. With only 115 right-hand drive JaguarSport XJR-S ever built and probably less than half that number remaining this offers tremendous value. .
