Auction description:
Lot 112
1992 Jaguar XJS V-12
€15.000 - €20.000
Offered without reserve
RM | Sotheby's - ESSEN 11 - 12 APRIL 2019 - The Youngtimer Collection
Chassis No. SAJNW4843NC181461
Offered from the Youngtimer Collection
U.S.-specification example, delivered new to California
One of just 11 built for the 1992 model year
Among the last of the V-12 convertibles
Finished in Signal Red with magnolia leather, beige hood and optional fog lamps, it is among just 11 V-12s made that year. According to the original service book which accompanies the car, this example was delivered new to the U.S. through Jaguar of Thousand Oaks. Its first owner listed in the manual is MDR Car Collection Inc., located at 9815 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, taking delivery on 31 March 1992. Interestingly, MDR was a company that provided cars to the film industry for use in movies.
It is not known how long the car remained in California, but at some point, it made its way to Japan and remained there until 2013, when it was exported to Europe. The car was purchased in 2015 by its current owner and imported to Switzerland, where it has remained ever since.
