At the same time, motorsport Triple Crown-winning engineer Tony Southgate and Ross Brawn recognised that to remain on the front foot during the ferociously competitive Group C era, the big cats needed to leave leviathan V-12s behind in favour of lighter V-6s that aided chassis balance. rnrnThe resulting twin-turbocharged V-6-engined XJR-10 divided its time between the World Sportscar Championship, where it appeared in 3.5-litre guise, and the American IMSA GT series for 3,000-cc cars. In the latter, ideally suited to sprint events, the car scored six outright victories plus a further nine top three results. One of three examples built, chassis 589 was responsible for two of those wins and four podiums.rnrnWearing Castrol colours, chassis 589 debuted in the hands of Price Cobb in the 1989 IMSA season finale at Del Mar, finishing 7th. But it was with Davy Jones at the wheel that the car enjoyed its greatest success. The American won the Portland 300 Kilometres bout in 1990 before steering the XJR-10 to the spoils at West Palm Beach the following year. For 1991, chassis 589 had gained a new Bud Light livery, which it carried through to its final topflight finish at Heartland Park, Kansas in May.rnrnTWR then reportedly split the car, mating the front assembly and chassis with the engine, transmission, and rear suspension from chassis 291, an XJR-16, to form an XJR-17. The Jaguar was sold to British club competitor David Appleby and then to seasoned endurance racer Dieter Bergermann in north-west Germany, who competed in Interserie events and eventually ran the car in spyder form. rnrnChassis 589 was then purchased in March 2005 by the consignor, a prolific historic racer based in the United Kingdom. Under their care, the Jaguar was restored across 2016 and 2017 (invoices available on file). A twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V-6, as sister XJR-10s used in period, was rebuilt by Advanced Engine Research of Essex in early 2019 at a cost of ?34,272 and the 1991 West Palm Beach race-winning Bud Light livery recreated. A report by expert race preparer Moto Historics will be available upon request. rnrnBeautifully presented, this magnificent Group C challenger is eligible for a variety of popular historic race series and would be a welcome attendee at many high-profile demonstrations and events. rnrn1989 Jaguar XJR-10, chassis XJR10 589???????????DateEventDriverEntrantRace #Result22 October 1989Del Mar (2 Hours)Price CobbTom Walkinshaw Racing617th25 February 1990MiamiDavy Jones & Martin BrundleTom Walkinshaw Racing60DNF (engine)01 April 1990Road Atlanta (500 Km)Davy Jones & Jan LammersTom Walkinshaw Racing607th22 April 1990West Palm Beach (3 Hours)Davy Jones & Martin BrundleTom Walkinshaw Racing60DNF (accident)06 May 1990Heartland Park (300 Km)Davy Jones & Martin BrundleTom Walkinshaw Racing606th28 May 1990Lime Rock Park (150 Laps)Davy Jones & Jan LammersTom Walkinshaw Racing60DNF (turbo)03 June 1990Mid-Ohio (500 Km)Davy Jones & Price CobbTom Walkinshaw Racing60DNF (engine)01 July 1990Watkins Glen (500 Km)Davy Jones & Alain FerteTom Walkinshaw Racing603rd15 July 1990Sears Point (300 Km)Davy Jones & Alain FerteTom Walkinshaw Racing604th29 July 1990Portland (300 Km)Davy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing601st19 August 1990Road America (500 Km)Davy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing602nd02 September 1990San Antonio (2 Hours)Davy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing60DNF (accident)30 September 1990TampaDavy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing6012th11 November 1990Del MarDavy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing602nd03 March 1991West Palm Beach (2 Hours)Davy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing21st07 April 1991Miami (2 Hours)Davy JonesTom Walkinshaw Racing2DNF (engine)28 April 1991Road Atlanta (300 Km)Raul BoeselTom Walkinshaw Racing33rd05 May 1991Heartland Park (300 Km)Raul BoeselTom Walkinshaw Racing3DNF (cooling)26 May 1991Lime Rock Park (2 Hours)Raul BoeselTom Walkinshaw Racing3TDNS (accident in practice)30 August 1993Castle Combe (Special GT)David ApplebyDavid Appleby2510th11 September 1993Castle Combe (Special GT)David ApplebyDavid Appleby251st09 October 1993Castle Combe (Special GT)David ApplebyDavid Appleby252nd05 November 1995Jarama (Interserie)Cor EuserBGN Motors5710th08 June 1997Spa (Interserie)Cor EuserMRI7DNS (engine)03 August 1997Most (Interserie)Dieter BergermannMRI77thrnrnPlease note this lot has entered the EU on a temporary import bond, which must be cancelled either by exporting the lot outside of the EU on an approved Bill of Lading with supporting customs documentation or by paying the applicable VAT and import duties to have the lot remain in the EU.rnrnVeuillez noter que ce lot est entre dans l'UE sous couvert d'une autorisation d'importation temporaire, qui doit etre annulee soit en exportant le lot en dehors de l'UE avec une lettre de debarquement approuve accompagne des documents douaniers necessaires, soit en payant la TVA et les droits d'importation applicables pour que le lot reste dans l'UE. rnrnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
