This exceptional example of Jaguar’s legendary supercar claims a life of modest driving use and fastidious upkeep throughout a short chain of dedicated owners, resulting in a particularly fetching XJ220. According to a production record trace certificate from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, chassis number 220773 was completed in March 1993 and finished in the striking livery of Le Mans Blue paint over a Smoke Grey leather interior.

Dispatched from the factory in June 1993, customer order number 048 (as evidenced by the doorsill embossment) was sold new to an owner in Denmark. The Jaguar later passed to a second Danish keeper, who commissioned performance upgrades by the world’s preeminent XJ220 authority Don Law Racing in the United Kingdom, including attention to the brakes and clutch.

In February 2015 the Jaguar was sold to its third caretaker, the Germany-based consignor. Shortly after, SMS Engineering was tasked with conducting a refresh that included a partial rebuild of the twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V-6 engine, attention to the brakes, clutch, and steering components, and the installation of a new fuel tank. In 2016, the coachwork was beautifully refinished in Le Mans Blue and the driver’s seat was reupholstered, further contributing to the car’s current state of authentic presentation. This was followed by additional attention by Don Law in 2018 that principally consisted of a comprehensive rebuild of the engine to original factory specifications. It is important to note that a stamping corresponding to the JDHT certificate clarifies that this XJ220 retains its matching-numbers engine.

As detailed by a file of service invoices, the Jaguar has been dutifully maintained over the last 10 years, including the installation of a custom muffler and repairs to the air conditioning system by Autohaus Konrad Schmidt in 2020; plus a full service in April 2024 that included the fitment of a new clutch and belts.

This XJ220 is sure to experience a warm welcome at owners’ club gatherings and marque-focused events. Chassis number 220773 would make a wonderful addition to any sporting collection, particularly suited for enthusiasts of late-20th Century benchmark supercars.
