GRAHAM FRANKLIN'S: DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Jaguar Magazine

Issue 206

IF YOU ARE A REGULAR READER YOU WILL probably remember this eye-popping XJR-S in edition #162 when it was owned in Perth (WA) by Peter Crisp.

He bought it in 2009. It is a genuinely spectacular and rare XJR-S Facelift model built in tiny numbers by JaguarSport - a company formed and owned originally by Jaguar and TWR.

In edition #200 we featured a beautiful identical but green XJR-S sold new in Japan (now in Australia).

We mentioned then that from September 1989 the model got a 6.0 litre V12 engine with TWR's Zytek engine management system.

The XJR-S stayed in the Jaguar line-up until 1993 with 837 coupés created. Only 87 were manufactured in 1989, 122 in 1990, 65 in 1991, 249 for 1992 and just 23 in 1993. Peter Crisp had been looking for this exact model, abandoned his dream - then lucked onto it at a Club meeting!

SERIOUS UP-DATES MAKE IT BETTER - AND IT'S DIESEL F-pace next level

THE F-PACE IS JAGUAR'S BEST SELLING MODEL AND continues to improve in all ways. The 2021 upgrades are sensational to the point where it now feels close to an XJ from the driver or passenger seats. It is that luxurious. It is multi-purpose too, so aside from family duties, it will handle the dirty stuff like a dedicated SUV and, encouragingly, Jaguar really has got its head around what the F-PACE was capable of achieving from its inception.
