Clean Carfax History Report
Pulled from recent storage as part of a well curated sports car
collection.
Mechanically, the XJ220 was just pulled from storage and has
received recent services to the electrical system including
repairing lights and switches. It has received new spark plugs,
wires and oil/filter change as well as a fuel pump. The XJ220 has
also benefited from recent major cosmetic detailing throughout. It
generally runs and drives fine with strong power and good engine
compression, however since we cannot verify previous major service
work completed, a thorough inspection and service is recommended
prior to road use.
Distinguished as the world's fastest production automobile of
1992/93, the Jaguar XJ220 humbly began as the pet project of a
number of Coventry's design staff, who were soon dubbed the
Saturday Club for their efforts after regular business hours.
Director of Product Engineering Jim Randall conceptualized the
model as an extension of the successful XJR sports racers. The
build of the XJ220 was eventually 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 racecars.
Entering production in 1992, the XJ220 was named for its projected
top speed, 220 mph, which was very nearly achieved in a time trial
on the high-bank test track in Nard�, Italy. The model proved
quicker to 60 mph than both the F40 and Lamborghini Diablo, and it
even set a new lap record for a production car at the N�rburgring -
while providing a superior level of luxury and comfort to other
supercars of the time.
Fewer than 300 examples of the XJ220 were built through 1994, at
which point the program was canceled in the wake of the collapse of
the supercar market. Rightly viewed as the spiritual descendant of
important sports-racing Jaguars like the XKSS and XJ13, the XJ220
forever captured the imagination of supercar enthusiasts with its
sublime curves and low roof. It remains a unique favorite among
marque enthusiasts today and this example has exceptional pedigree
having been featured on Jay Leno's garage and well as a Gold Rush
Rally and Concours participant.
