Why it matters

How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionJaguar XJR-6 Group C cars built, 3 in 1985 and 3 in 1986 | 61 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
TWR and Bob Tullius' Group 44 both received factory support in the early 1980s, Group 44 for the American IMSA GTP series and TWR for the Group C World Championship, both using Jaguar's V12. Six XJR-6 cars were built, three in 1985 and three in 1986.
