We are excited to display this wonderful 1991 Jaguar Sport XJR-S 6.0 at the forthcoming Great British Jaguar Day on Saturday 23rd May 2026. JaguarSport was launched in 1988, a jointly owned company (50/50) by Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) with the aim to construct hand built and highly tuned Jaguar road cars utilising TWR Le Mans winning experience, development and technology Jaguar had won Le Mans in 1988 with their Group C XJR-9 with TWR and this wonderful publicity created a great marketing opportunity for Jaguar and TWR to combine efforts and construct a limited series of highly developed roadcars to celebrate their success Hand-built at JaguarSport in Kidlington by TWR engineers alongside the XJR-15 and XJ220, a total of 787 XJR-S 6.0 Coupe’s were produced between late 1989 and 1993 with only 115 examples built in RHD. The 6.0 XJR-S model was considerably more expensive than the standard 5.3 V12 Coupe which cost £34,200, the XJR-S being listed at £45,500 that was still approximately half of the contemporary Aston Martin V8 Vantage However the XJR-S was a very different animal to the standard car, its 6.0L V12 produced 318bhp with 357 lb/ft with Zytek engine management and fuel injection mated to a modified Hydramatic GM400 automatic gearbox and Salisbury limited-slip differential. The suspension was extensively developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and specially tuned XJR-S Bilstein shocks resulting in a potent GT car that handled as well as it looked and performed The wonderfully 80’s styling revisions included subtly aggressive body kit and 16″ ‘Speedline’ wheels thanks to automotive design supremo Peter Stevens and the interior was trimmed by hand in bespoke Connolly Autolux leather Supplied new by Jaguar main agents Taggarts (Glasgow) Ltd on 24th May 1991 to the first owner Mr W.Baillie and finished in striking Signal Red coachwork with Magnolia Connolly hides piped Red Acquired by the second (and long term) owner just eight months later on 27th January 1992 via main agents Appleyard Jaguar, a copy of the original invoice denotes the mileage of 10,658 miles and requests steering wheel and gear lever to be changed, at which point the desirable Nardi wheel was fitted An avid car enthusiast with an eye watering collection of sports cars, many of which were red, and all which were cherished, enjoyed, extensively maintained and professionally stored throughout his ownership The comprehensive historical file documents regular servicing and maintenance throughout his thirty-four year tenure with maintenance entrusted to Appleyard Jaguar throughout the 1990s then specialist servicing thereafter Without doubt one of the most substantial maintenance records we have ever seen for a car of this vintage, interested parties should note the Jaguar benefitted from extensive body and structural restoration works between 2015 by marque specialists Stewart Roden Motors of Scotland. The body was stripped back to its bare shell with all corrosion cut out and repaired as necessary with new inner sills, repairs to the outer sills etc and complete respray at a cost of GBP 14,000, invoice on file The Jaguar returned to SRM in May 2016 at 34,824 miles for extensive mechanical recommissioning following a period in storage that included a complete brake rebuild, replacement radius suspension arms, new HT leads and plugs, AC conversion to R134A, stainless exhaust, major service and DAB radio at a cost in excess of GBP 7000 The Jaguar has been used sparingly since, accruing a further 3100 miles, bringing the total to 38,000 miles today.
