Jaguar XJ220 (1993)

One of the most extraordinary and beautiful cars ever to reach production, the XJ220 hit close to 220mph while the McLaren F1 was still climbing off the drawing board at its birth in 1992. The child of a collaboration between Jaguar's so-called 'Saturday Club' - an informal group of engineers, including engineering chief Jim Randle, who'd get together after hours to develop pet projects - and Tom Walkinshaw's TWR Engineering, the genesis of the XJ220 formed around Randle's idea to make a lightweight, mid-engined two-seat Jaguar that would eclipse the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959. In the event, only 281 XJ220s were made between 1992 and 1994 and all were fitted with an even more potent (542bhp) and lighter twin-turbo V6 than the originally planned V12.

This exceptional XJ220 was first delivered in September, 1993 to Mr Scheit domiciled in Vienna, Austria. It was later sold to a significant collection in Luxembourg where it remained until purchased by DK Engineering in 2016, and subsequently sold to its most recent owner. At the time of sale DK completed a most extensive service to ensure the car was to meet the new owners exacting and high standards. Today this exceptional XJ220 has covered a remarkably low mileage of just under 1,200 kms from new. Presented with its original book pack, spare keys, wheel socket and Jaguar parts manual, this XJ220 is UK registered and ready to be used and enjoyed immediately, located in our showrooms just outside London.
