1993 Jaguar XJR-S

This car is offered from outside of the European Union. It has been imported under temporary admission customs bond and is therefore subject to Dutch import tax (9%) on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 10% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer. If exporting immediately to another country, then tax/duty will only be paid in that country.

The winning bidder will pay €500 customs charge on top of the ‘hammer’ price.

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their proof of purchase.

This vehicle has been on static display in the Middle East for a number of years and the only history or paperwork available is displayed in the photo gallery. In all cases the papers shown are photocopies unless otherwise stated. We do not have the original paperwork.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not tried to start or drive the car and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. The car is not registered anywhere.

It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

As CARS Europe BV is the guarantor of all customs duties and taxes for vehicles within Dutch customs bond, the car cannot be released until full payment received.

All storage charges (€30 + local VAT per day commencing from the sixth day following the auction end) must be paid in full prior to the vehicle’s collection or onward transportation. Collection and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

Please send an email to the storage centre to ensure vehicle(s) are ready at time of collection. Photographic ID will be required at time of collection. If a third party is collecting for you, then written authorisation is required in advance from you and photographic ID of the third party is required at the time of collection.

CARS Europe BV will contact you after the balance payment is received to confirm onward transport requirements. For enquiries about import tax and shipping contact Madam Joanna Herlihy, +31 (0) 252 682 526, +44 7483 433912, joanna@carseurope.net.

This 1993 LHD auto Jaguar XJR-S V12 6.0-litre entered the vendor’s collection of static display vehicles in 2013, having been exported new to Germany in 1993.

We believe it was sold to someone in Toulouse in 2004, at which point the car’s odometer read 64,500 kms. The German sticker at the rear suggests that it may have returned to Germany at a later date – we don’t know.

It comes with no history or service records beyond whatever documentation is shown in the gallery, although it does have a Jaguar service book with main dealer stamps up to 1996, some receipts and invoices, and a couple of German road safety certificates.

In our opinion, this car’s condition is very good overall and reflects the fact that it has only covered 66,712 kms in its life.

This car presents very well indeed from every angle and the bodywork is broadly free of any dents, dinks, warps or bends.

The door gaps and shut lines all seem fine and the red metallic paintwork still looks impressive in most areas.

The wheels and chrome trim are decent, as are the exterior fixtures and fittings. The boot lid has what look like aftermarket badges attached to it plus a sticker that reads ‘Zytek Engine’, which we’re confident wasn’t on the car when new.

The car’s chrome work, trim, and exterior fixtures and fittings are all very good.

There are some scuffs on the rear bumper and, on the passenger side, paint chips and scuffs on the rear and front wings, the roof, the rear wheel arch and around the headlamp cluster.

There’s a patch of swirly, irregular paint above the rear light cluster on the driver’s side.

Also on the driver’s side, there are some scuffs and scratches around the rear wheel arch and by the door handle.

The interior is every bit as good as its exterior counterpart.

The black leather upholstery is in first-rate condition, both front and back, with only the very lightest creasing in evidence on the driver’s seat.

The rear seats, unsurprisingly, look even less troubled by either time or use.

The door cards are good, as is the headlining. The carpets and mats are intact and largely undamaged but need cleaning.

The wood veneers are fairly good but there are some cracks in the lacquer on top of the gear selector and by the fascia air vents.

There are a few scuffs and scratches on the kick plates.

We can’t make any claims about the full functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t driven the vehicle.

The undersides of the car look very decent and what we can see appears to have a good amount of structural integrity.

The engine and engine bay look fine and, as far as we can tell, everything is present and correct.

The car doesn’t come with any documentation beyond what is shown in the photography section

We do not have anything else.

This hand-built low-kilometres car seems to us to be in good condition and appears to have been well looked after and maintained throughout the course of its life.

Provided, of course, that the engine and mechanicals are amenable to recommissioning.

We’re confident to offer this car for auction with an estimate of €8,000 - €14,000.
