1993 Jaguar XJ220 For Sale - Collector Grade Example With Only 703
Miles From New LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1993 Jaguar
XJ220 In its time the Jaguar XJ220 was the world's fastest
production automobile, named for its projected top speed, 220 mph,
which was very nearly achieved in a time trial on the high-bank
test track in Nardo, Italy. The project humbly began as a
skunkworks project of Coventry's design staff, who were soon dubbed
the Saturday Club for their efforts after regular business hours.
The initial prototype was presented to the public at the 1988
Birmingham International Motor Show and received unanimous praise,
and customer interest skyrocketed. Initially the British
manufacturer announced a pre-tax price of £290,000 and a production
run of 350 vehicles. Approximately 1,400 reservations were
recorded, each complemented by a £50,000 deposit. Build of the
XJ220 was delegated to Jaguar Sport, the subsidiary racing company
that the marque had created in tandem with Tom Walkinshaw Racing
(TWR), the competition concern responsible for the latest evolution
of XJR race cars. TWR had created a new power plant for the XJR-11
racer of 1989, a 542-horsepower, all-alloy turbocharged V-6 that
was developed from Austin-Rover's Group B rally car. This turbo
V-6, dubbed the JV6, was chosen to be the new power plant for the
XJ220, and the motor's diminutive volume and size allowed it to be
neatly packaged amidships within slippery aluminum coachwork penned
by Jaguar Design's Keith Helfet. The very first production car was
unveiled by Diana the Princess of Wales at the Bloxham factory in
October 1991. Deliveries began in June 1992, and by this time, the
sticker price had ballooned to £470,000. A grand total of 282 units
were produced, far less than they had originally accounted for, at
which point the program was canceled in the wake of the collapse of
the supercar market. The example offered here for sale was
assembled in late June 1993, finished in Spa Silver over a Charcoal
interior. After leaving the factory, the car was sold through
Jaguar Deutschland GmbH on 24 January 1994 to a German engineer and
business owner. After purchase, the XJ220 was reportedly placed
into storage and used sparingly accumulating a mere 703 miles on
the odometer. In 2002, the XJ220 made its first trip to the famed
Don Law Jaguar workshop in Staffordshire, England. Whilst in their
company, the car received a "delivery miles" service, which
included replacing camshaft and alternator belts, air and fuel
filters, and oil, brake, and coolant fluid. The vehicle would
return to their shop in 2016 leaving in 2019 for an extensive
service detailed in invoices totaling roughly £30,000. This XJ220
has been shown at a number of events in recent years. Most recently
in 2021, the vehicle scored a 9.998 score at the Jaguar Club of
Florida Concours d'Elegance and had previously taken a
Best-in-Class award nationally. The car achieved a Best in Class
win at the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance, also in 2021.
This unbelievable XJ220 is accompanied by the original books,
toolkit, first-aid kit, warning triangle, CD changer holders and
Wheel nut adapter. The vehicle is further documented by a Jaguar
XJ220 video, import documentation, various articles and photos, a
Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust production record trace certificate,
and service receipts. The Supercar market has exploded in the last
few years with a new era of collectors entering the market looking
to acquire their poster cars. As competitor supercars like the
Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, Bugatti EB110 have more than doubled in
recent year, the XJ220 is still highly undervalued in comparison.
