Comments from the seller
I have owned this Australian deliverd car for 17 years and am a member and past President of the Jaguar Drivers Club of SA. I have owned six Jaguar cars in my time and this is one of three still in the stable.
Offered in Bordeaux duco with Oatmeal interior, this 192,00km car was the best example I could find when I purchased it. The quality of the paintwork would suggest a it has been repainted at some stage in its life and there is absolutely no rust.
The engine consumes no oil or coolant between regular changes and it does not overheat. Airconditioning works as it should. I'd confidently drive this car across the country. It starts first time, every time.
Leather is in good condition showing a lovely patina. The rear seat looks as it did when it left the factory. Leather is regularly conditioned and the car has been polished many more times than I've had birthdays.
Wood work is in excellent condition, showing a deep lustre and no cracks.
New Khumo tyres fitten 6/1/24.
Original log books and service records.
These cars have either had serious money spent on them over the years to keep them up to standard, or they will be your worst financial nightmare. Happily, this car is one of the former.
So why am I selling? I work away a lot and when home have many other vehicles to drive/ride. This car needs to be driven.
Please, no tyre kickers. This is a special car in excellent condition being offered for a fair price and insured by Shannons for the asking price.
Serious buyers please contact me by phone.
