This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2025 - Competition Cars on Saturday the 22nd of February, Stoneleigh Park, Stoneleigh Rd, Coventry, CV8 2LG. Only 1,130 examples of the six-cylinder XJ-SC were built and we can’t recall ever having seen one converted to a race car, certainly at UK club level and this striking car certainly looks the part. It was originally built to be eligible for the Standard 'Class A' of the popular Jaguar Enthusiast Club GT Championship, usually run over 12 rounds across six weekends of the season at some of the UK’s top circuits including Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Donington Park. It would undoubtedly be a welcome addition to the grids at a number of other UK Championships and being road-registered, opens up the possibility of entry to hill climbs, sprints, road rallies and even the occasional track day. In our vendor’s words, 'A bit over two years ago, a race-winning Jaguar XJ-S race preparer (JEC Champion, Colin Philpott of Powerbell Services) fitted new race suspension bushes, custom roll cage, outboard rear discs, a Topline automatic fire system, fabricated fuel tank, new Schroth Profi II ASM race harnesses worth about £900 plus all the other FIA regulation safety requirements. He then lightened the car by removing the air-conditioning, carpets and noise padding, fabricated lightweight aluminium door and interior panels, fitted twin specially commissioned new Corbeau Sprint Excel race seats worth £1,900, a period Momo removable steering wheel, appropriate period aluminium wheels and much more'. External modifications to the top lip of the boot lid as well as the bespoke slimline bumpers front and rear give the car a more pleasing outline. Our vendor feels it’s a little reminiscent of some of the early design studies by Malcolm Sayer, Jaguar’s legendary aerodynamicist and designer of the C, D and E-Types and who was responsible for the initial work on the XJ27 (XJ-S) before his untimely passing at age 53. His sleek low-nose style didn’t survive as a result of US headlight and 'fender' requirements and Sir William Lyons’ own preferences. The car presents in a Ecurie Ecosse blue paint scheme with the roundels and stripes as might have been seen in period on a D-Type, enhanced by a new navy blue soft top (£2,200) and black 5-spoke alloys. There are one or two areas where there has been a paint reaction (see images) and the original interior is available if required but is in France so a courier would be required. The appropriate registration number, C7 XSC, will remain with the car. Our vendor unfortunately sustained a long-term leg injury a week before the finished car was delivered, so this good looking Jaguar has never been raced. This is a super opportunity to enter the world of Jaguar Club Racing in a rare - possibly unique - road-registered racer that, apart from a spanner check, looks ready to go and offered without Reserve could be remarkable value.
