In 2018, Invictus Games Racing was set up with the aim of selecting a group of wounded, injured and sick (WIS) veterans of the British Armed Forces to compete in the 2018-19 British GT Championships as part of a new motor racing team in specially-designed Jaguar sports cars. Invictus Games Racing was a collaboration between James Holder, co-founder of the successful clothing brand Superdry, and the Invictus Games Foundation. Holder commissioned Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division to develop and build two bespoke F-TYPE SVR racing cars to GT4 specification in which the selected drivers could compete. The team’s mission was to give WIS servicemen or women the opportunity to experience the adrenaline of competitive racing and inspire others to embrace the Invictus Games ethos of ‘Triumph over Adversity’. At the launch of the programme in 2018 John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said, “The F-Type SVR was the first series production Jaguar developed by SVO, exemplifying our precision engineering, performance and design capabilities. It’s appropriate that this specially-commissioned F-Type SVR will be the first SVO-designed race car to hit the track. While the F-Type SVR is all about duality – the 200mph all-weather supercar that you can drive every day – this bespoke commission is 100% competition focused. SVO’s world-class attention to detail in high-performance design and engineering are inherent in both.” LOT 226 Registration: N/A Chassis Number: Engine Number: Estimate: £200,000 - £250,000 A Pair of Jaguar F-Type SVR GT4 Race Cars and Spares Package More Images Lot 226 Bid On Lot 226
