Tom Petty Auctioning Off His Jaguar

10/12/2012
. Tom Petty is auctioning off his personal 1996 Jaguar XJS Convertible on e-bay to benefit Doctors Without Borders.

Tom recalls what the car means to him personally, saying "I have so many great memories associated with this car. When I began dating Dana (my wife) I asked her what her favorite car was. So, I phoned the office and said I wanted a Champagne convertible Jaguar XJS. The next day they delivered it to my house and showed me how everything worked and I took it for a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway. I was in heaven, as was Dana. This car has such and incredible design. My favorite car I ever owned. We sure are going to miss it."

1996 was a historic year for the XJS model Jaguar as that was the final year of production after 21 years. You can check out the auction here.
