Reportedly supplied new to California as a left-hand drive `special equipment' model complete with Borg Warner slush `box, this particular example is understood to have been converted to right-hand drive and manual transmission since its repatriation. The vendor says: "The Jaguar was imported to the UK in 1993. The body is extremely straight with excellent original panels which were stripped to bare metal and resprayed by Deville Motors of Somerset. The interior woodwork was reveneered and new upholstery fitted". He describes the motor as "strong" and the transmission and electrical equipment as "excellent", adding: "The car is aging very well and has proven very reliable even when used on a daily basis. It is being sold because my collection is being reconfigured due to my son's racing ambitions". Riding on wire wheels, this gorgeous Jaguar is accompanied by a Heritage Certificate, photographic restoration record and MOT certificate valid until August 2011.
PLEASE NOTE: This lot has overdrive and driving lamps.
