First registered during September 1996, the supercar was subsequently repainted in its current, non-standard shade of Dark Grey.

By 2015, the Big Cat resided in Switzerland and then in February 2018 was sent to leading XJ220 expert Don Law Racing in the United Kingdom. In addition to a thorough engine service, plus the installation of new seals, belts, gaskets, and lines, the braking system was upgraded and BBS alloy wheels fitted at a total cost of 19,451 (invoices available to view on file).
