A highly desirable 'home market' manual / overdrive car that retains its original 3.8 litre engine block, chassis 205181DN was formerly the property of King Hussein of Jordan. Midway through a 'no expense spared nut-and-bolt restoration' at the time of the king's untimely demise, its refurbishment was completed by the vendor who chose to upgrade '300 ABD' with an alternator, Hi Torque starter motor, stainless steel exhaust system, electric power steering and Coopercraft brakes. This most eye-catching of period Jaguars is finished in the classic mix of Gunmetal Grey Metallic bodywork and Red leather interior. It is being sold complete with Heritage Certificate and numerous receipts for work carried out. The odometer currently shows an unwarranted 37,616 miles and this extremely charismatic cat is MOT'd into September and taxed until the end of November. Finding a new home for this feline will surely be little problem.
