We are pleased to have purchased this stunning Jaguar XJR-S finished in Solent Blue coachwork. Hand-built at JaguarSport in Kidlington by the TWR engineers who had worked on the XJ220. Launched in 1988, JaguarSport was a 50/50 joint venture between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw's TWR (not to be confused with Jaguar-Sport), a relationship that had begun with the famous TWR-prepared XJS that dominated Touring Cars in the 1980s. The JaguarSport XJR-S may have looked similar to their production counterparts but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and, of course, its 6.0-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system, Zytek engine management and a low-loss true dual exhaust system were part of the car's advanced specification. The Hydramatic GM400 was modified with different 'changing points' to better suit the 6-litre car and a Salisbury limited-slip differential was standard. The suspension was further developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR-S. Externally, the cars were modified with a subtly aggressive body kit, 16" 'Speedline' aerodynamic wheels and host of modifications inside included a bespoke Connolly Autolux leather interior and the steering wheel was made for JaguarSport by Momo of Milan. They were normally built to order with cars being transported from Brow
