Hello and welcome Gabriele
Can you explain what is different about your XJ40 XJR Sport car versus a standard XJ40 for that year?
I don't think Jaguar brought the XJ40 XJR Sport cars into the US so we do not have these here.
Also post some photos of the car if you have any.

Hello Jensen. The XJR, introduced in 1988, was a high-performance model that was finished by the Oxfordshire-based JaguarSport company, a dual venture by Jaguar and race team TWR, at TWRs Kidlington-based factory alongside the XJ220. Based upon a Sovereign model, it was fitted with uprated suspension with unique Bilstein dampers, a revised power steering valve to increase the steering weight by 40% and special exterior paint and exterior styling touches. Early examples were fitted with a 3.6 L AJ6 engine in standard tune but later models had a TWR tuned version of the 4.0 AJ6, with new inlet manifolds, uprated cams and a tweaked ECU. Some examples are also fitted with a larger bore JaguarSport exhaust system.

The XJR differed cosmetically from other XJ40 models with its body coloured bodykit, consisting of new front and rear valances and side skirts, all from fiberglass, a black grill with a JaguarSport badge in it and unique Speedline alloy wheels with wider tyres. Later models had ducting fitted to the front valance to feed cool air directly to the brake discs. The interior featured a leather MOMO steering wheel, JaguarSport logos on the dial faces, leather shift knob, and seat headrests embossed with the JaguarSport logo.

Im going to say that the car doesnt exist without pics... Either the OP is really busy enjoying it, or he’s a child playing games.

He knows what it is. Its a unique car, the fact that there are brochure pics, but no actual car pics, tells me we have a dreamer with games in mind. Maybe he just wants one. 🙄
