The vendor has provided the following:

Previous owner Mr Paul Sykes, which have a service history from this point 1985-1997.

Purchased by Alexander Robb on 25/06/1997 from Grundy Mack Classic Cars Huddersfield for and now the current owner to the current day. The car actually was purchased for mum, and the paperwork shows it should have been in her name.

The car was maintained by a combination of our garage and Alexander Rib and Micahel Illignworth for the last 22 years and has a full set of MOT service certificates going back to 1985. There has been no major work carried out during this time apart from replacing the fuel tank and then general repairs and servicing.

There are several vehicle condition forms from Footman James over the years, with photos, etc, with estimated values.

The car has been used for many classic car rallies and has attended road trips with the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club France on two occasions, and the Isle of Man 50th Celebrations of Jaguar, and regularly at Thorsby Hall, Newby Hall, Bradford, to Morcombe and Burley in Wharfedale shows.

The car was stored in a heated garage, and it has factory-fitted alabaster sunroof. MOTs have been carried out this year and throughout ownership.

It does have a blemish on the bonnet which has been there since it was purchased. It was fully restored when purchased, and there aren't any more clues to who carried this out, but I know it was a car they always wanted, and there were many comments passed on how it had been tampered with and was a very pure car.
