TWR body kit, air filter casings, and sporting exhaust system fitted
Upgraded grey/blue leather interior with TWR Jaguar-branded steering wheel
MOT valid until March 2027
The Appeal
Tom Walkinshaw Racing's association with Jaguar is the stuff of motorsport legend, and TWR-fettled examples of the XJ-S remain among the most coveted variants of Coventry's grand tourer. The combination of TWR's aerodynamic enhancements and mechanical tweaks with Jaguar's silken V12 powerplant creates something genuinely special, bridging the gap between a refined cruiser and a sporting machine.
This 1986 example is presented as a genuine TWR-modified XJ-S, finished in white and wearing the full TWR body kit comprising front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a rear wing. Under the bonnet, the 5,343cc V12 breathes through TWR's own air filter casings, offering a rather characterful induction rasp, complemented by a more sporting exhaust system.
Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with grey/blue leather upholstery, a matching TWR Jaguar-branded leather steering wheel, and coordinating door cards and centre console trim. With 61,297 miles showing on the odometer and a fresh MOT, it's a fine prospect for the lucky buyer - and is bound to prove a very rewarding retro classic. 2a22b058-2c60-432b-94be-dd6461569f2b.jpg135.75 KB
