Comments from the seller

This is an appreciating classic owned by a Jaguar enthusiast - in fantastic condition with immaculate paintwork and great interior. Drives superbly. Lovingly maintained, serviced by Jaguar specialist. Full brake rebuild, full suspension rubber replacement. New tyres and battery. Nothing to do but drive and enjoy. We have attended Jaguar Driver Club events - currently on Historic Club Registration. This is an exceptional car - a work of art. Selling as we are not able to use it as it deserves.
