Peter Klutt and his son Gary share the stage on this one describing in length the infamous legacy of the Jaguar XJ220. Peter explains the story of how this striking Jaguar came to be in the 90's, and the frothy market conditions that allowed for it to continue to be so undervalued. Gary then takes this monster for a drive as we get a drone out to give an epic sense of scale from all angles.
In its time the Jaguar XJ220 was the world’s fastest production automobile. Its top speed of 220MPH was very nearly achieved in a time trial on the high-bank test track in Nardo, Italy. The project humbly began as a skunkworks project of Coventry’s design staff, who were soon dubbed the Saturday Club for their efforts after regular business hours. The initial prototype was presented to the public at the 1988 Birmingham International Motor Show and received unanimous praise, and customer interest skyrocketed. Initially the British manufacturer announced a pre-tax price of £290,000 and a production run of 350 vehicles. Approximately 1,400 reservations were recorded, each complemented by a £50,000 deposit.
The example here was assembled in late June 1993, finished in Spa Silver over a Charcoal interior. After leaving the factory, the car was sold through Jaguar Deutschland GmbH on 24 January 1994 to a German engineer and business owner. After purchase, the XJ220 was reportedly placed into storage and used sparingly accumulating a mere 703 miles on the odometer. In 2002, the XJ220 made its first trip to the famed Don Law Jaguar workshop in Staffordshire, England. Whilst in their company, the car received a “delivery miles” service, which included replacing camshaft and alternator belts, air and fuel filters, and oil, brake, and coolant fluid. The vehicle would return to their shop in 2016 leaving in 2019 for an extensive service detailed in invoices totalling roughly £30,000. This XJ220 has been shown at a number of events in recent years. Most recently in 2021, the vehicle scored a 9.998 score at the Jaguar Club of Florida Concours d’Elegance and had previously taken a Best-in-Class award nationally. The car achieved a Best in Class win at the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance, also in 2021.
This XJ220 is accompanied by the original books, toolkit, first-aid kit, warning triangle, CD changer holders and Wheel nut adapter. The vehicle is further documented by a Jaguar XJ220 video, import documentation, various articles and photos, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust production record trace certificate, and service receipts. The Supercar market has exploded in the last few years with a new era of collectors entering the market looking to acquire their poster cars. As competitor supercars like the Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, Bugatti EB110 have more than doubled in recent year, the XJ220 is still highly undervalued in comparison.
