Pulled from recent storage as part of a well curated sports car collection.

Mechanically, the XJ220 was just pulled from storage and has received recent services to the electrical system including repairing lights and switches. It has received new spark plugs, wires and oil/filter change as well as a fuel pump. The XJ220 has also benefited from recent major cosmetic detailing throughout. It generally runs and drives fine with strong power and good engine compression, however since we cannot verify previous major service work completed, a thorough inspection and service is recommended prior to road use.

Distinguished as the world's fastest production automobile of 1992/93, the Jaguar XJ220 humbly began as the pet project of a number of Coventry's design staff, who were soon dubbed the Saturday Club for their efforts after regular business hours. Director of Product Engineering Jim Randall conceptualized the model as an extension of the successful XJR sports racers. The build of the XJ220 was eventually delegated to Jaguar Sport, the subsidiary racing company that the marque had created in tandem with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR), the competition concern responsible for the latest evolution of XJR racecars.

Entering production in 1992, the XJ220 was named for its projected top speed, 220 mph, which was very nearly achieved in a time trial on the high-bank test track in Nardò, Italy. The model proved quicker to 60 mph than both the F40 and Lamborghini Diablo, and it even set a new lap record for a production car at the Nürburgring - while providing a superior level of luxury and comfort to other supercars of the time.

Fewer than 300 examples of the XJ220 were built through 1994, at which point the program was canceled in the wake of the collapse of the supercar market. Rightly viewed as the spiritual descendant of important sports-racing Jaguars like the XKSS and XJ13, the XJ220 forever captured the imagination of supercar enthusiasts with its sublime curves and low roof. It remains a unique favorite among marque enthusiasts today and this example has exceptional pedigree having been featured on Jay Leno's garage and well as a Gold Rush Rally and Concours participant.
