Elegant and luxurious, this Jaguar shows a patina that can only be had over time and careful preservation. Finished in a soft, medium gray hue, the paint and body have held up very well. While a restoration of the exterior might bring it to a higher standard, it is still attractive and acceptable. The interior compartment has been treated to new upholstery on the seats and door panels in a darker saddle material that is soft, comfortable and pleasing to the eye. The dash board and gauge set remain original to the car and the headliner also appears vintage. A full sliding moon roof is found above the driver's area. An original Road Speed rim is found in the tidy and very original luggage compartment. The Dunlop spare tire is likely an original to the car as well. Owner's manuals with prior owner information and maintenance books are also included with purchase of this grand automobile.
