Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
and extremely rare and collectible example of this original classic
1993 Jaguar XJR-S 6.0L V12 330HP Convertible with only 34,200
original miles! This is the most desirable collector's version of
any XJS model, with all of the limited edition 100 cars built being
numbered with the 'Asprey's' (The Queen's Jeweler) silver plaque on
the center console and numbered for export to the U.S. in 1993,
this being # 007-93 and recognized as such by the 'International
Cabriolet Register' and the 'Silverstone amp; Jaguar Supercar
Register' of England who inform us that contrary to popular opinion
on the matter of their being 50 Signal Red and 50 Black cars
produced; there were actually 22 'Signal Red' Coupes, 21 'Signal
Red' Convertibles, 23 'Jet-Black' Coupes, 27 'Jet-Black'
Convertibles and another 5 'Silver-Frost' color (4 coupes/1
convertible) promotional cars and 2 extremely rare Flamenco (or
Regency) Red Coupes produced! We have previously owned four of
these extraordinary models; including one of the two 'Flamenco Red'
coupes (#01-99) and one of the very rare 'Silver-Frost' promotional
coupes so we are very familair with both their high desirability
for Jaguar collectors and their unique and extraordinarily rare
attributes. This particular car is a very sought after convertible
model and in absolutely fabulous condition throughout and boasts
all of its original documentation and history of the car since new;
including a full set of all of its original owners manuals, its
'Passport to Service' handbook, original window sticker showing an
original sales price of over $81,000 in 1993 (equivalent to over
$139K in 2017!), and service records the three previous long time
owners who obviously absolutely cherished this car! The cars

color combination of original factory 'Signal Red' color paint and
the completely original beautiful doeskin 'Cream' color leather
interior is also absolutely stunning and virtually flawless with
superior, specially selected quality grade leather known as
'Autolux' and supplied by the legendary Connolly of Rolls
Royce/Bentley fame. The original factory 'Signal Red' paint is
truly striking and was showcased in the XJR-S original brochure for
the car and the rich interior is as fabulous with the fine grain
leather seats and trim with the high contrast walnut wood veneers
and dashboard still as new. The car has it's original Jaguar
radio/cassette system and all its original tools and the unused
spare wheel have never been removed from the trunk.No amount of
information can prepare you for the precision of this car's
responses and the taut road handling you experience behind the
wheel - this is no ordinary Jaguar or indeed to be confused with an
XJS, Jaguarsport created a superb sports car at the same time and
in the same factory as the XJ220, a car which routinely commands
over $300K today and a car quoted in the ' Guinness Book of
Records' 1994 to 1999 issues as "the fastest speed ever attained by
a standard production car with a top speed of over 217mph" before
being replaced by another British car, the McLaren F1 which drove
240.1 mph (386.4 km/h) in March 1998 with rev-limiter increased.;
we feel that this rare XJR-S is a true sleeper in every sense of
the word in the Collector Sports Car market and a car which will
ultimately reward any future collector handsomely.All the options
are working as they should including obviously the air
conditioning. This particular car must be seen and driven to be
truly appreciated! The car was sold new at 'Keeler Motor Car, Inc
Jaguar' of Latham, NY to a reportedly mature owners who obviously
took great pride in the car and who always garaged the car in their
New York home and who drove only some 27K original miles. It was
then sold in the year 2009 to its second New York owner who drove
the car for some 5K further miles and who then sold the car to it's
most recent owner in the year 2014 with 32K original miles who has
owned and run a renown New York service garage since 1960; with a
clean CARFAX report to confirm this history. The car was serviced
at primarily only Jaguar dealerships since new and had a recent
complete service at 33,752 miles at 'Van Kleecks Tires' of Lake
Katrine, NY, with a complete tune up, new brake actuator, new front
brakes, hoses amp; calipers and an air conditioning recharge and
the car now boasts a clean bill of health. From looking at these
extensive service records it is obvious that at no time was any
expense spared on this particular vehicles preventive
maintenance.As previously stated the car has reportedly always been
garaged with absolutely no history of any accident damage with all
original factory OEM parts and paint, obviously owned by only very
careful and mature drivers since new - never ever raced or abused!
Powered by one of the finest, race proven engines built by Jaguar,
the smooth big block 6.0L V12 engine (earlier XJS models used a
5.3L V12) which was produced for only the last three years of
production (1993-95) and completely discontinued the following year
1995, it is an extremely low production model with only some 100
models built! It was a worthy successor to the XK series of Jaguar
sports cars dating from the late 1940's and this particular example
drives exceptionally well - extraordinarily smooth and powerful -
it must surely drive exactly the same as when it left the showroom
floor over 24 years ago! Following a tradition of automotive
innovation, Jaguar created an extension of it's mainstream
manufacturing operations to continue the development of vehicles
which more fully explored and expanded performance and handling
potential of it's sedans and sporting cars. TRW stands for the
championship winning 'Tom Walkinshaw Racing' who had been modifying
XJS's for street use until the formation of a 50/50 joint venture
with Jaguar Cars Ltd to form 'JaguarSport' in 1988. TRW brought the
highest of credentials to the enterprise with responsibility for
IMSA GT Racing in the United States and the World Sports Car
Championship Series, TRW boasted three World championships and wins
at both the 24 hours Le Mans and the Daytona 24 hours; the two
foremost endurance sports car races on earth. JaguarSport
engineers, based at TRW's Kidlington headquarters in Oxfordshire,
England developed a range of modified Jaguars including the XJR-S
and the world's fastest production car at that time, the 200+ MPH
Jaguar XJ220. Both vehicles were built at JaguarSport's
manufacturing facility at Bloxham in the Cotswolds, England.
JaguarSport engineered a high performance version of the standard
5.3 litre V12 for the XJR-S. Many of the same components which were
modified for the XJ12 engine were modified for the XJR-S V12.
Displacement was expanded to 6.0 litres (5993 cc) by lengthening
the crank shaft stroke by 70mm to 78.5 mm. The combustion chamber
had to be enlarged, creating a compression ratio of 11.0:1.
Horsepower was increased to 330 bhp with a massive mid-range torque
of 339 lb ft @ 3750 rpm. The car wi...for more information please
