The XJ220 offered was finished in Monza Red over Sand and dispatched on 16 August 1993 to original owner Woo Yung Tae through his company 'Primrose International,' as recounted on both the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate and the original owner's manuals. It was delivered to Germany and there stored throughout its life in dehumidified storage along with the rest of the owner's automobile collection, reportedly under the care and maintenance of a former Ferrari-trained mechanic. The service book shows a single service by a German Jaguar dealer on 13 June 1994 at 388 km.

The current owner acquired the car from the original collection through an intermediary in October 2015, and has maintained it in their own significant collection since. It was appropriately taxed upon its entry into the UK, but while a NOVA was submitted to register the car, the registration process was never completed and the car remains never registered since new – surely one of the last XJ220s that can make such a claim.

The owner has invested in this motorcar's mechanical order, submitting it in late 2019 to noted specialists Don Law Racing to review an engine-out six-year service, including replacement of timing belts and other normal wear components, as well as the fuel tank, hoses, and main fuel pumps. The engine itself was rebuilt to ensure safe operation after many years in storage. Receipts for this work, totaling over £35,000, are included in the file. The XJ220 remains in virtually pristine cosmetic order, with its paint having been corrected and the interior in superb condition, and to date shows only circa 400 miles from new. Accompanying are the original tool kit, car cover, handbooks in their leather wallet, wheel socket, and rear left- and right- wing mouldings for use during servicing.

This is undoubtedly one of the lowest-mileage, freshest and best-prepared XJ220s available on the market, now available for registration for the first time in its life.
