□ TEMPORARY IMPORT (UK)

Between 1992 and 1994, some 281 XJ220s were constructed, of which this magnificent Right Hand Drive example is believed to be the 72nd example built. Delivered in the appropriately named colour of Le Mans Blue with black leather interior, the car was purchased by renowned historic car specialists Talacrest Limited who retained it until October 1994. At this point it was sold—with a recorded odometer reading of just 100 miles—to Singapore Ferrari Concessionaire Hong Seh Motors Pte Limited. Although principally Ferrari agents, Hong Seh were certainly no strangers to the XJ220, having previously sold no less than six examples to the Brunei Royal Family prior to the acquisition of this particular chassis. The Jaguar arrived with its incumbent Singaporean keeper in October 1995, and was registered in Malaysia in 1996, though the car has been stored in Singapore since.

After a period in long term storage, Hong Seh entrusted the car to marque specialists Don Law Racing, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire for sympathetic recommissioning between May 2017 and August 2018. Having purchased all remaining factory XJ220 spares, patterns and tooling directly from Jaguar in 2007, the latter were uniquely qualified to carry out the necessary repairs to “829”, which included a complete engine rebuild, replacement of the entire fuel system, refurbishment of the cooling and air conditioning systems, the overhaul of all four brake calipers, hubs and dampers, and a full re-spray. In addition to this, the car was treated to a new windscreen, roof screen and a set of original specification Bridgestone tyres; the total expenditure during this period totalling almost £89,000.

Remarkably, even as it approaches its fourth decade, chassis 829 has covered a mere 295 miles from new, making it arguably the lowest mileage XJ220 recently offered for public sale. This accolade, combined with the car’s two owner provenance, recent expenditure and other-worldly performance surely render this the opportunity of a lifetime for anyone seeking to augment their significant Jaguar or Supercar collection with an example of this truly remarkable landmark design.

Please note this car has no original registration document present. Please check with your local authority prior to purchase regarding restrictions on registering the car in your local jurisdiction.

Please note that this lot is sold on a Bill of Sale.
