Seen for sale at Henry Pearman's, www.historicclassics.com
"Chassis number 220636 and build number 332, this fabulous example (one of the last to be built) was manufactured in October 1993 and despatched to St Hellier Garage on Jersey in December that year.
It was kept with only delivery mileage until 1998, and in 1999 was first registered, in Jersey, and wore the registration number J 220. By the end of the year it returned to the mainland, having covered 1,334
kms, for leading Jaguar specialists to conduct a comprehensive service and apply the improvements to the
braking system and clutch that had been developed since production.
This work was completed in time for trips to Le Mans and Monaco in 2000. In June 2001, the car was
serviced by the supplying Jaguar dealer in Jersey at a mileage of 5,455 kms. In February 2002 it was sold to a leading UK-based specialist with only a few hundred kilometres added to the mileage, and they carried out a full 10,000 kms comprehensive service. They also registered it in the UK and it was soon acquired by us for our own collection.
We sold it to the last owner in July 2004, and he has enjoyed a further 3,100 miles with the car, and
maintained it to the very highest standards possible, using the recognized leading specialists in this iconic model.
Overall, the XJ220 was the right car – but finally released for production at the wrong time, a victim of
the fanatical development to ensure it became absolutely ‘right’ as a usable road car, which simply took
too long. It is extremely docile to drive (despite being based around the latest and sensational world
championship Group C Jaguar race car of the time) and is, naturally, an incredible and exciting car when
unleashed.
Had the McLaren F1 not subsequently eclipsed it, it would have held the title of world’s fastest production car for many years, and it offers remarkable value today for such a rare, beautiful and exciting car from one of Le Mans’ most famous marques."

Sellers description:
Built very late on, the car we offer has been comprehensively maintained and was very first registered in 1999. It was built in October 1993 and then dispatched to St Helier of Jersey in the December of that year. It has been very lightly used throughout its ownership. Even when first road registered in 1999 it only had its delivery mileage. In late ’99 the car was sent to a mainland UK specialists with an upgrade given to its brake system and a new lighter clutch was fitted. Its most recent owner has had the car since July 2004. In the last two years, the car has had in excess of £32000 spent on maintaining it. Work carried out included revisions to the head gasket and rear main oil seal
