Jaguar wowed the world when they revealed their new
concept/prototype car in 1988. The goal was an ultra-exclusive
supercar with unbelievable specifications that can compete with any
thoroughbred. As its place in history, many promises were made in
the tabloids of engine, top speed and performance specs. After a
few years of planning in the 1980s, Ford Motor Company completed
their purchased of Jaguar. While the XJ220 project was kept alive,
specifications were altered by the time production started. The
XJ220 was fitted with a Cosworth-designed, 3.5-liter, twin-turbo
V-6 as used in the XJR-11 racecar. With more than 540bhp, this
propelled the Jag well over 200mph test driven by F1 great Martin
Brundle. This made the Jaguar faster than the F40 and the Diablo
and the fastest production car in the world until the McLaren
F1.
This XJ220 was produced on January 7th, 1994. Originally sold in
Germany where it remained until 2004, the Jag was then imported to
the United States and sold to a doctor in Florida. It was then sold
to its last caretaker, a well-known collector in 2010 and has been
immaculately maintained ever since. The car was sent to Jeff
Snyder, a well-known Jaguar restorer, for a new fuel cell,
servicing and reworking the entire fuel system and new tires. After
this work was completed, the car was shipped back to Jaguar in
Coventry in 2011 and the factory completely went through and
serviced all components including rebuilding the engine to exact
original European factory specs. As the Jag was finishing its
service work, the Aston Martin Owners Club invited XJ220s and their
owners to show their cars as a special class at their Spring
concours. The owner drove the car from Coventry to Oxford and then
to a building in Bloxham, which was the original XJ220 factory
(later became the DB7 factory).
Maintained and cared for regardless of use and with only 5,700
Kilometers, most recent servicing has included a full service tune
up w/timing belts, complete fuel system service, new tires and
sport exhaust at 5,640 km. This is simply one of the best XJ220s
available in the world. It is in superb condition throughout, and
all systems working exactly as they should. This XJ220 is complete
with its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, all original
books owners and service manuals, service records include all
engine work, original first aid kit (still in its plastic), wheel
tool and complete promotional and brochure material from prototype
to launch.
A landmark model in Jaguars amazing history, the XJ220 is still the
company's fastest-ever production car. The XJ220 remains highly
collectible, sought after by Jaguar enthusiasts and supercar
collectors alike. With gorgeous supercar looks and top-level
performance, this beautiful XJ220 represents a wonderful
opportunity to acquire one of the most significant supercars of its
era.
