This example was subject to a ground up rotisserie restoration about 10 years ago. It is fully documented in a photo album included with the car. Much attention was spent making this car drive as well as possible; in examining the photos, it is clear that no expense was spared in the work. Since restoration, the car has been driven about 10,000 miles and today it is a nicely sorted and very strong machine.

This Jaguar is finished in handsome Gunmetal Grey with Red Connelly leather interior, one of the most attractive combinations. The panel work is very good, sighting down the car show's excellent prep work prior to the respray. The car does show some signs of regular use since restoration but it still is in very nicely presented condition. The interior shows no modifications - even the original radio and speakers are fitted! The comfortable 4.2 seats are only lightly patinated.

Benefiting from recent tuning and detailing, the Jag has been fitted with a fresh set of proper tires, making it ready to enjoy.
