E763 KYX was built towards the end of Cabriolet production, and was originally the personal car of Diana, Princess of Wales. Although the Cabriolet was normally offered only as a two-seater, this car was specially fitted with rear seats for the young Princes William and Harry. The seats are trimmed in the optional tweed cloth rather than leather which was the standard. Due to safety the Cabriolet rear hood was fixed. 

The Princess used this car from 1987 to 1991, and it was then acquired by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in return for a contribution to her charity. Princess Diana was the third generation of the Royal family to have chosen Jaguars for personal transport. We are proud to preserve Princess Diana’s car together with the Jaguar Mark VII originally used by HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and cars used by HM The Queen.

If you love this car as much as we do, you can Adopt it for a year and help us preserve the history of Jaguar and its predecessor companies. To find out more, follow this link HERE.
