LOT 102 W
Elizabeth Debicki (as Princess Diana): the green Jaguar
1987 Jaguar XJ-SC 3.6-Litre Cabriolet Registration no. FJI 8723 Chassis no. SAJJNACC7CA144433
Estimate: £15,000 - £20,000
The car offered here portrayed the late Princess Diana's personal Jaguar XJ-S Cabriolet in The Crown. Jaguar's first response to demands for an open-top XJ-S was somewhat conservative in engineering terms; the XJ-S had not been designed with an open version in mind, so a Targa-style arrangement was adopted, which retained a substantial roll hoop in the interests of maintaining rigidity in the absence of a fixed roof. Two removable roof panels were stored in the boot, and the Cabriolet did away with the Coupé's two occasional rear seats in favour of a pair of luggage lockers topped by a parcel shelf.
Diana's own XJ-S Cabriolet was the V12-engined version, whereas this car has the considerably more economical 3.6-litre AJ6 inline six under the bonnet. As per the original 'Diana' car, it also has the US-specification headlights and rear seats, the latter were installed in Diana's example for the young Princes William and Harry. The Princess used her XJ-S from 1987 until 1991.
A manual transmission model originally finished in blue, this XJ-S was repainted green to match the Princess's car (the blue paintwork is still visible beneath the bonnet and in the boot). The car comes with a good history file relating to its life before The Crown. Understood to have been recently serviced, it passed its most recent MoT test on 29th August 2023 at 83,029 miles, with advisories on the front brake discs. The car has not been driven since the test.
