1989 Jaguar XJR-S Hyper
This lot has been re-entered as in now lot 350


Lot details

Registration No: G758 YMF
Chassis No: SAJJSAES3BB163988
MOT: September 2023

  • 92,200 recorded miles and just 3 former keepers
  • Current ownership since 1993
  • Retrimmed by Aldridge Trimming in c.2008
  • Converted into a Hyper XJS in c.2000

Built in late 1989, this 6.0-litre V12 XJR-S was initially a demonstrator for Stratstone of Mayfair. It was subsequently sold to Maxwell Fleet Services on 13th October 1989 (registered RAM 246 to Mr Robert Maxwell). It was then sold to Polly Peck International on 3rd August 1990. Next, it passed to the 3rd owner who kept it for some 8 months before being bought by the current owner in July 1993.

In early 2000 we are advised the car was converted to Hyper specification utilising the Mk2 conversion kit which included suspension, tubular manifolds and exhaust system. At the same, time it was repainted in Jaguar Flamingo Red. Around 2008 the car returned to the Hyper workshops for a freshen up. Aldridge Trimming carried out a full retrim in grey and a Hyper updated dash top was fitted along with later fully electric front seats and a later rear window shelf. In 2010 it was put into dry storage before emerging in 2019 for recommissioning. Work included a thorough overhaul of the front and rear suspension with new parts fitted – a breakdown is included in the history file. In 2021 the bodywork was tidied up and four new tyres fitted along with an aerial mast and bonnet struts. Details of this work are again evidenced in the accompanying paperwork.

Unfortunately, Paul Hands of Hyper cannot produce any paperwork as we are informed the computer on which the conversion work was stored has lost the data. Furthermore, a number of invoices were unfortunately mislaid in a house move by the current owner. However, some history and assorted MOTs along with the books from Jaguar are included. Although the indicated mileage is some 92,000, the current mileage is actually some 110,000 as the speedo was changed for a second-hand unit in 2005. This exciting TWR XJR-S is offered with a current MOT to September 2023.
