Unlike most surviving MKIIs, 'FDO 621D' is a charmingly unmolested example that's been maintained from new rather than restored. First UK registered in the November of England's World Cup-winning year of 1966, it is finished in the pleasing combination of Silver Grey bodywork matched to Red leather interior trim, and is said by the vendor to be 'a highly original car with perfect shut lines'. Recent work carried out by renowned marque specialists CMC of Bridgnorth includes attention to the power steering system and a conversion to negative earth, plus the replacement of the dynamo with an alternator. The vendor further states 'it is a well sorted period piece that drives beautifully' and presently grades the paintwork as 'excellent', the bodywork, straight-six XK engine and four-speed manual transmission as 'very good', and the interior trim as 'good'. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 43,112 miles and the Jaguar is MOT'd to July 1st 2017.
