Jaguar always had a fabulous racing presence throughout the 20th Century with fantastically successful cars including the C-Type, E-Type, XJ220 and XJS to name just a few, however by the turn of the century their racing presence was unfortunately dwindling with the exception of their Formula 1 campaign.

Between 2007 and 2009, Apex Motorsport stepped up and were a factory approved entrant into the FIA GT3 European Sports Car series with the Jaguar XKR-S. Three cars were built in total, all based on the XKR-S. Run by the very experienced and talented World Sports Car Racing expert, Richard Lloyd, the team were starting to become competitive, and the car looked to be a front runner, potentially even a winning car when tragedy struck. The team were involved in an air disaster on the way to a test at Paul Ricard which sadly claimed the lives of all five on board, including Richard Lloyd, and their test driver, the very talented and much missed - David Leslie.

The team was destroyed, both emotionally and physically, and sadly the project was halted.

Today, it still offers an exciting and competitive package with over 510bhp on offer from the supercharged 4.2-litre V8 (which has done very limited running), a 6-speed Hewland flat-shift, sequential gearbox, 3-way In-Trax bespoke dampers, AP 6-pot front callipers on monster 375mm discs and 4-pot rear callipers on 330mm discs, long-range (108 ltr) quick fill ATL tank, Motec dash with data-logging and a structural T45 roll-cage all in a solid, strong but yet lightweight shell, complete with inboard airjacks with the cars total weight being just 1240kg..

Taken to Spa and enjoyed on an MSV Trackday, our vendor described the car as being ‘Gorgeously smooth to drive’. Since then the car has been stored in a dry, temperature-controlled storage unit and maintained well since being in our vendors possession. An ideal candidate for Britcar, GT Cup or Dutch Supercar Challenge, the Jaguar has shown its potential in the past and now just needs someone to enjoy it and win with it!

Having cost well in excess of £400,000 to build, at today's guide it seems to offer real value for money and it must surely now be a timely proposition for a serious competitor or collector to bring justice to this cars fantastic capabilities.
