The XJR-S was always a limited production model, with only 837 being made between 1989 and 1993 compared to more than 115,000 XJ-S cars in total. First registered in September 1988, shortly after the model's introduction, this early example is number '39' of the initial batch of 100, of which it is estimated that fewer then 70 are still on the road. An automatic transmission model, the car has had only one owner from new but two registered keepers (the owner and his company) and comes with a substantial quantity of MoT certificates supporting the recorded mileage of 48,738. Also on file are assorted invoices from marque specialists such as Surrey Jaguar Centre and others showing that the car has always been well maintained and regularly serviced. The car is finished in grey with doeskin hide interior, and is described by the private vendor as in generally very good condition. This collectible limited edition Jaguar is offered with the aforementioned service history, current MoT/tax and V5C registration document. It should be noted that the current registration '8977 CR' is being retained by the vendor.
