This is the elusive Jaguar you've read about and possibly have even seen one in person. Now you have the opportunity to add one to your collection or perhaps start your collection with a true classic European muscle car. The car is pristine, 48,600 original miles. Recently serviced and ready to drive and enjoy. Everything functions on that car as it should, there are no rips or tears, no scratches or abrasions. The cars is stunning. The air conditioning is ice cold, the leather is gorgeous and the interior wood is remarkable. The unique number plate on the center console displays ad recognizes this car as XJRS #018.

I will attach an article that address the absolute uniqueness of this particular Jaguar. This cat sits on near new Michelin performance radials, and factory wheels chromed to a brilliant finish.
this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a part of Jaguar performance history. The 1993 XJR-S is a very special Jaguar, built be Jaguar Sport working with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). The XJR-S was sold in Europe from 1989 to 1992 but not in North America. In 1993, a special run of 100 North American spec cars were built and were sold only in North America. Jaguar built 50 XJR-S coupes and 50 XJR-S convertibles with 25 of each type in red and black. There is a commemorative silver plate on the console, made by Asprey, which provides evidence of the build number. This car is a true masterpiece and extremely rare. Jaguar sent a basic XJS to Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) for custom upgrades. This cars' documentation includes the unique TWR engine number and serial number indicative of a true TWR XJR-S. The engine is 6.0L V12 instead of 5.3L, and the driveline, suspension, and brakes were engineered, built and installed by TWR, a major contributor to the Jaguar Racing development group. The Zytec ECU (ignition system) is also unique to this car and provides for stellar performance. Rounding out the XJR-S package, these cars also have a rear spoiler, under tray, lower side sills, a custom front end treatment, a special charcoal Autolux leather interior, and larger alloy wheels/tires, all unique to this incredible XJR-S. The 6.0 Litre - V12 engine engine was hand built by Tom Walkinshaw's Jaguar Sport team and included several performance modifications pushing the horse power to 338 hp. The car will go 0-60 in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 157 MPH. The car also has suspension modification and special body cladding and retailed for a whopping $129,000.00 back in 1993.
