1983 Jaguar XJS Lynx Eventer #1456

Engine # 8S24175HA

The 13th of Only 67 Lynx Eventers Produced

Offered in Seldom Seen "Field Find" Condition

Offered With A JDHT Certificate, Original Service Booklets, and Limited Ownership History

Offered to the Public For The First Time in 20+ Years

This particular example, Chassis # SA JJNAEW38C111456, is the 13th pre-facelift conversion that Lynx Engineering built and it

was delivered to its first owner in Chandler’s Ford in the Borough of Eastleigh in Hampshire, England on November 1, 1983. The

car is finished in a gray exterior over a contrasting tan leather interior with a red stripe dividing the chassis in half. The first

owner kept up the suggested maintenance schedule to a T, servicing the car at both certified Jaguar dealerships and regular

shops throughout England. In September of 1994, the car changed hands but the maintenance continued to be kept up by the

second owner as well. Once the original service record booklet was filled up, the owner sent out for additional record pages and

continued using it until the car reached 163,939 kms (101,866 mi) on December 11, 1997.

On January 18, 2000, the car was sold to its first US owner and was delivered to the Newark, NJ port on February 25, 2000. At

some point after that, this Lynx Eventer was abandoned in a field still wearing its British plates and the odometer reading

169,332 kms (105,218 mi), meaning it was left there just 6,000 kms (3,728 mi) after its last service in the UK. This rare shooting

brake will need a full restoration after sitting for around two decades to get it roadworthy once more.
