Finished in Metallic Titanium complemented by Doeskin leather piped in Stone, this TWR Celebration model is number 58 of a strictly limited production run and is understood to be just 1 of 326 examples manufactured with the 5. 3-litre engine. Displaying a credible 47, 000 miles on its odometer it comes with its bookpack wallet, retention certificate for the registration F4 TWR, current MoT to June 2026, invoices for works carried out, other sundry paperwork and a Swansea V5C.
Launched in August 1988, the XJR-S 5. 3 was the first product of the newly formed JaguarSport (a 50/ 50 collaboration between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw's TWR group). Intended to capitalise on Jaguar's sixth Le Mans victory, the newcomer was distinguished from its lesser XJS brethren by a drag-reducing body kit, matt black radiator grille and special 'Speedline' alloy wheels. Further benefiting from revised suspension and more focused power-assisted steering, it utilised the same super smooth 5, 343cc SOHC engine and automatic transmission. The XJR-S 5. 3 remained a limited-edition model with total production between 1988 and 1990 reputedly just 326. With just 39 JaguarSport XJR-S Auto cars registered on UK roads at the end of 2022, and only 156 licensed as SORN, these JaguarSport XJR-S are a rare sight on roads today.
