Princess Diana’s Jaguar XJ-SC is expected to make its appearance at London Classic Car Show 2018
The whole city of London is excited to host one of the greatest festivals of vintage cars, London Classic Car Show on February 15-18. It is expected the event to be special by putting on public display Princess Diana’s favorite automobile, cabriolet
The story of the car goes back in 1983 when this wonderful model of Jaguar, XJ-SC coloured in british racing green was first built. Originally the car had two seats but, in order to satisfy Princess Diana’s needs, one model of XJ-SC (763 KYX plate) was specially fitted with two other rear seats for her children William and Harry and for her bodyguard.
Princess Diana’s Jaguar is not particular only because of the number of seats but also, differently from other XJ-SC, this model as Diana wanted has been fitted with personalized leather and Harris Tweed seat trims.
After using it almost 4 years from 1987 until 1991, due to lack of space princess Diana had to replace the car with a German Mercedes 500SL.
London Classic Car Show is giving all vintage car enthusiasts a possibility to see princess Diana’s beloved car and enjoy the festival that will showcase as well other 700 classic automobiles, such as F1, once used by Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher, and the famous Mini Cooper S that first appeared in the film “The Italian job” in 1969.
