History of the car

Build Year : 1985

This car was first delivered in Nov 1985 to Ron Hodgson (of Ron Hodgson Motors in Sydney), as a standard V12 automatic XJ-SC. Ron ran it as his personal and demonstrator car for 6 months. It was then acquired by another NSW owner who had the car fitted out with the upgrade package developed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and Jaguar Sport. The second owner enjoyed the car for the next 24 years before on-selling it to another NSW owner in 2010. It then came to a Melbourne Jaguar specialist dealer in 2017, and it has stayed in Victoria ever since.
