Jaguar's famous win at Le Mans in 1990 in the classic purple and white, Silk Cut livery not only secured their prominence in Group C Sportscars but also launched celebrations at Brown's Lane culminating in the decision to celebrate with a low production XJ-S Le Mans edition. Limited to 280 cars, with bespoke features which included twin headlights, lattice alloy wheels, sports suspension, embossed Autolux seating and a special numbered plaque on each sill. Naturally, with the low numbers available and the desirable specification, they sold out quickly and continue to remain sought-after.

H749 YUC was first registered on the 04/01/1991 by Stratstones of Mayfair and was duly exported on the 9th of January to a sunnier climate where it remained until September 2019. Finished in Solent Blue ( M715 ) and with a complementing Cream leather interior and piped in Isis Blue. The interior specification from new was as follows; Soft-grain Leather Seating, Black Steering Wheel, Warm Charcoal Facia, Doeskin Headlining and a Coffee Carpet.

This truly stunning example of the marque has covered a mere 24,000 miles from new and is supplied with its original book pack containing the owner's handbook and the service book showing good evidence of its maintenance whilst it has been abroad by its (believed) one owner. Arriving back to our shores during 2019, the car was treated to a full service in December of last year making sure that the Le Mans was good to go and ready for a new owner. The car was also MOT'd with 'No Advisories' in November of last year.

Currently, the Jaguar is on a NOVA Certificate with all duties paid, meaning that the new owner will be the first listed on the V5, and we also understand that the car will be allocated its original registration of H749 YUC keeping its provenance intact. This is a superb example of a rare model and in this condition and at this low mileage would grace any collection and be much admired at Jaguar events.
