BONHAMS AUCTIONS
THE MONACO SALE 'LES GRANDES MARQUES À MONACO'
FRIDAY 11TH MAY 2018
Chassis no. SAJJNAEW3BC113109
• Number '20' of the estimated 67 produced
• Four Owners from New
• Automatic transmission
Conceived as a luxurious and long-legged Great Road, the XJ-S, though afforded precious little in terms of interior space: two adults and an overnight bag being about the limit if its comfortable capacity. In the absence of a factory 'estate' it was left to the Hastings-based engineering company and coachbuilder Lynx to exploit the model's full potential. Renowned for their re-creations of the C- and D-Type Jaguar sports-racers, Lynx had a reason to be confident that such a market existed, given the success of the 'sports estate' concept in the form of the Reliant Scimitar GTE and Lancia Beta HPE. Each Eventer would have to be cost-effective, making the privilege of a wealthy few.
Number '20' of the estimated 67 Eventers produced, this V12-engined example was first registered 'A6 BEB' in the UK. Never accident damaged, the car was restored again in 1999 and again in 2009/2010, the exterior color being changed from brown to black at the latter date. Each event is different, and this one with a copy of the full factory file, including all production details and correspondence with the customer, as well as copies of the original invoices for the estate conversion.
Chris Keith-Lucas, CKL Developments of Battle, East Sussex, has been co-founder and Managing Director at Lynx. CKL also carried out extensive remedial works; including the rear suspension, rear brakes, fuel injectors, and exhaust systems. CKL's detailed invoice for £ 14,191 (approximately € 16,740) is on file.
Since the purchase by the current sales of a set of original wheels has been fitted to the car. Dated December 2017, a condition report from a well-known French expert is on file, and we are advised that the interior will be refurbished by time of sale. 'The perfect blend of space with space', also with respect to the restoration; original Jaguar manuals; old UK registration documents; Belgian registration papers; and an article about the model from 'Autoretro' magazine (March 2016 edition)
