Jaguar Fire Tender at Auction

“This particular XJ40 saloon is a pre-production model built in February 1986. The car was originally Jaguar’s Police demonstrator and is a rare manual gearbox model. However, it was then loaned to the Donington Park Race Circuit for use as a high-speed fire tender, and is fitted with a TWR body kit, XJR suspension and Speedline alloy wheels, while rear seat was removed to accommodate fire-fighting equipment. The car was later used for similar duties at the Jurby Race Track in the Isle of Man, before returning to the JDHT.”
