With only 27 road legal models on the planet this is an extremely rare opportunity to get your hands on this Jag.

However, petrolheads will have to complete an application to gain access to the bidding.

The new off market platform offers an unmatched opportunity to view exclusive sales.

Allowing sellers to select the most suitable offer, considering both the price and location of the bidder.

The platform was launched by LaSource which is tailored for a range of collectible cars.

The standout features include non-bidding offers to test the waters and the optional concierge service.

The 34-year-old motor will feature at auction on Sunday (2 Feb) being held by the Surrey based company, as reported by Luxury Auto News.

Adam Geake, Co-founder and COO, LaSource Auctions, said: “Registration is a rigorous process to ensure each user of the platform is fully vetted.

“Applicants must provide photo identification, proof of address, and proof of funds, ensuring the exclusivity and integrity of the platform.

“Approved users can then access a seamless, four-step process to list their vehicles, with guidance available from LaSource’s dedicated Client Services Team.”

James Banks, founder of LaSource, said: “This platform reflects our dedication to providing a service that prioritises discretion, trust, and efficiency.

“It empowers sellers to connect directly with serious buyers while eliminating the hurdles of broker chains or even the complications and expenses of a traditional physical auction.

“With a portion of the cars we deal in being invite-only build slots for in-demand hypercars, there’s an additional layer of trust, with buyers free from the worry of the condition of the car, since it comes straight from the factory.”

Keith Holland, Head of Competition Cars at LaSource Auctions, said: “The platform addresses a crucial need in both the collector and competition car markets, where discretion is paramount.

“The rarest road cars and significant competition vehicles have historically changed hands through private networks rather than traditional channels.

“Our platform provides the perfect balance – offering exceptional automobiles to a highly qualified audience while maintaining the confidentiality that both buyers and sellers expect at this level of the market.

“It’s a valuable outlet for active race teams managing their fleets, as well as for collectors looking to discreetly adjust their portfolios of the world’s most significant motorcars.”

THE Royal Family may need a “plan b” when it comes to its working individuals, and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice may have to step up, according to an expert.

Katie Nicholl spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show about how King Charles’ plan for a “slimmed down monarchy”, may have to be rethought.

King Charles’ plan for a ‘slimmed down monarchy’ may have to be revised, according to Katie Nicholl[/caption]

The Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent explained: “We don’t have Harry and Meghan over here, who would have been doing so much of the work.

“The Duke of York has been ostracised and stripped of his royal duties. 

“We’ve got Princess Anne, who’s about to turn 75 but still carrying out hundreds of engagements a year. We’ve got the Edinburghs.

“We’ve got the Waleses but you know, with the princess having gone through her own health journey, her workload has been reduced over the past year. 

“So there’s got to be a plan b. We may have to look at something different. 

“I think the king’s whole idea of a slimmed down monarchy is something that is having to be readdressed because of circumstances within the royal family.”

Katie stated that Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, could find themselves with a larger role within the royal family as a result.

The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, are currently not considered working royals and don’t receive public funding for their security.

The royal expert continued: “When you look at Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, they’ve been very much encouraged to go and live independent lives of the royal family, to earn their own living, not to be dependent on taxpayer funded security, not to be a drain, I suppose, on the public purse. 

“So it would be a step in a different direction. 

“I think possibly it is being looked at. 

“I mean, Princess Beatrice was there on Christmas Day, that was a sort of very visible presence for her. 

“They’re sort of welcoming her back into the royal fold. 

“I know that both Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are keen to do some royal work around their jobs and their home lives.”

York sisters’ ‘normal’ lives

Princess Beatrice who is expecting her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 40, pursued a career in finance, working first as an analyst at a wealth management firm before eventually becoming the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at software company Afiniti.

Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie moved to New York to work for the online auction firm Paddle8 as a benefit auctions manager in 2013.

In July 2015, she returned to London to work for the Hauser & Wirth art gallery, as an associate director, and two years later was made a director of the company.

Host Bronte Coy pointed out that things have “changed so dramatically for the royal family in recent years” that we could see “some new approaches in the future.”

Lady Louise’s future role

Katie also stated that Prince Edward and Sarah, Duchess of Edinburgh’s children Lady Louise, 21, and James, Viscount Severn, 17, could get involved with royal duties.

She added: “One wonders if perhaps that’s a template that might work for Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, because I think there’s had to be a rethink at the palace, because the shape of the royal family, the dynamic of the royal family, has changed.

“There is a way of doing it, and it wouldn’t necessarily have to be the case that Lady Louise and Viscount Severn would have to be full time wearing roles.

“I think there is a compromise here. 

“She’s at university, he’s at boarding school. They’re clearly going to go on their own trajectories. 

“When you look at Sophie and Edward, they’re so down to earth in so many ways. 

“They’ve shielded those children very deliberately from the spotlight, thrusting them to a life of royal duty, I don’t think is on the agenda.

“But I don’t think it’s completely a wild idea that they might be called upon on occasions where appropriate to support the monarchy.”

Bronte added: “Particularly because, as I understand, Lady Louise turned down the opportunity herself to have the HRH title. 

“It’s expected that her brother may do the same, but we’ll see. 

“I suppose anything could happen under a new reign.”
