Car to be at auction 2/15

Auction description:
Sale: 2651
Location: Rétromobile Hall 2.1, Paris
Date: 6 Feb 2015 14:00
Lot 197
1992 Jaguar XJ 220
To be registered
Chassis n°027 [note, John Bleasdale, XJ220 register, says this is the order number]
- 813 km from new !
- Never registered
- Sold new in France
The car on offer, no. 27, was one of the first XJ 220s to be sold. It was delivered new in France to the current owner who has never had the car registered. This gentleman is over 75 years old today and bought the car for its aesthetic appeal. It has remained with its temporary plates, as its Parisian owner does not drive it - he is driven everywhere by his chauffeur. However, he does like to start the car once a week, in its parking place two floors below ground in the car park at his apartment. What's more, the tricky ramp makes it difficult to get the car out ! It is for these reasons that the car has only covered 813 km since leaving the factory ! It appears that these few hundred kilometres took place on the motorway as there are one or two gravel chips at the front. The doors of the XJ 220 don't open very wide. It involves a degree of contortion to get in, and leaning on the top of the seat, which is the only part of the interior that shows any sign of wear. The car's elderly owner must clearly have gone to enormous lengths to prevent the doors touching against the walls of his parking space, when getting in and out of the car. The carpets still have the original plastic covering on! The beige leather interior is in excellent condition, and the car has been fully serviced by the renowned Automobiles T.S.. Toni Sisinni, accustomed to these supercars, has confirmed that the brakes, wheels and tyres have never been changed and show no signs of wear !
It will be delivered to its new owner with its service book (that includes a service carried out in 2002 at 400 km !), owner's manuals and Jaguar certificate. Here is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the marque's supercars, the stunning XJ 220, with negligible mileage. Moreover, the future owner will have the privilege of being the first person to register it !
Estimation 260 000 - 330 000 €

1992 Jaguar XJ220
Lot Number 129
Sold For €398,750
RM | Sotheby's - PARIS 5 FEBRUARY 2020 - Offered from the Poster Car Collection
Identification No. SAJJEAEX8AX220873
⯒ TEMPORARY IMPORT
According to its original service book and original purchase invoice, this XJ220 was originally delivered to Pierre Ruffini of Paris in November of 1992. A very early-production example, bearing serial number 27, it benefits from the elegant and rare colour combination of Le Mans Blue over a Sand interior with matching carpeting.
Amazingly, the car was never registered when new and remained largely in static storage. Today it shows under 850 km from new. A service invoice on file from Franco Britannic Automobiles outside Paris shows that the car was serviced there in November of 2002 at just 493 km from new, still in the ownership of Mr Ruffini. It was purchased by a UK-based owner in 2015 and has remained there ever since.
Whilst there are signs of use on the exterior from its limited road use, the interior is in excellent condition, showing the bare minimum of wear and still having plastic protection over the carpets. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a low-mileage example of this rare and iconic 1990s supercar.
