Description:
The example presented here was the recipient of an exhaustive nut and bolt restoration in the mid 1990s that cost the fastidious owner over $100,000. The body panels were removed from the chassis, a n d completely stripped to bare metal, repaired with steel and lead materials, all butt-welded. We understand that the frame was not rusty, but was nevertheless renovated and coated in epoxy primer. The coachwork was finished with Standox paint from Germany and the brightwork is flawless. Inside, the glamorous interior was renewed with fresh Wilton carpets, correct mouse-hair headliner and impressive burl walnut veneer woodwork, its grain mirrored left-to-right, properly inlaid as original – the execution of which is to the highest standard imaginable. And LOTS of it! The Connolly leather upholstery appears to have been restored sympathetically, retaining some degree of its original patina. Today, the car has a very low 66,000 original miles, only 5,000 of which were put on since restoration. It is beautifully finished in Sherwood Green with green suede interior. The list of options and appointments of this wonderful example includes, sliding Sunroof, 9:1 compression ration cylinder head, telescoping Bluemels steering wheel, electrically-operated Intermediate Speed Hold switch (Jaguar-patented), twin veneered fold-away picnic tables for rear seat passengers, locking center magazine cabinet between the tables with “Boudoir” clock, black-lit dash panel illuminating Smiths white-on-black dials, dual petrol tanks (operated by dash mounted selector switch), dual glove boxes, three cigar lighters, four ashtrays, Vaumol Connolly leather and Wilton carpets. The result was a stunning achievement. Equipped with expertly concealed CD-stereo and accessory badge bar, the original set of tools (hidden in each of both front door panels – including a grease gun!) and jack is provided with the car, as is the Owners Manual, Workshop Manual, and factory Parts Catalogue. Also included is a document book with the restoration invoices, a car cover and the Jaguar- Daimler Heritage Trust heritage certificate.
