Jaguar XJS-C

Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) were closely associated with Jaguar, a relationship which started in 1982 with the successful entry of the Jaguar XJ-S into the European Touring Car Championship, chalking up a number of wins that year. The relationship continued and by 1988, TWR-Jaguar had taken its first Le Mans victory in a V12-powered XJR-9. Further success followed with a Le Mans win in 1990.
This very good Jaguar XJS-C V12 was first registered in April 1987 and presented in Arctic Blue with Saville Grey Leather.
It would appear that the first owner recorded around 60,000 miles during the first eight years of the car's life. Thereafter, three subsequent private owners are recorded. The most recent keper acquired the car in 2001 with approximately 70,000 miles recorded. There are sixteen Jaguar Main Dealer stamps in the service book the majority of these with Appleyard Rippon.
This car is one of 710 home market automatic cars, less than half of these cars are believed to remain either on the road or SORN; as a TWR Edition this will be one of a very small number of cars that remain on the road today.
With TWR options of Speedline Sports Wheels (alloy wheels with flush centre caps hiding the wheel nuts), increased capacity intake manifold with stainless steel trumpets providing an estimated 10% increase in power, Stainless Steel Exhaust with Quad Tail Pipes and Body Styling Kit (replacement of front and rear bumpers, under valance, air intake, sill cover side skirts and boot lid spoiler) plus Sports Steering Wheel, Suspension (specially developed Bilstein shock absorbers, stiffer springs and revised radius arms) and Braking upgrades (10.625 inch rear discs and 11.625 rear discs) This is an eye catching and rare beast and it drives superbly, with a wonderful, 300 + bhp effortless surge of power, but at the same time huge dignity
