This particular example features Red bodywork teamed with an Oxblood-coloured hide interior. It has apparently had four keepers from new, the previous one of which retained the Jaguar from 1992 to 2009. It has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration and a number of desirable upgrades including: electric choke; Kenlowe fan; electronic ignition; five-speed Getrag gearbox; uprated braking system; electric power steering; chrome wire wheels; sunroof and seat belts. The vendor currently grades the soft Connolly leather interior upholstery and walnut wood trim as 'excellent', the new manual gearbox as 'very good', the bodywork and 3.4-litre engine as 'good' and the paintwork as 'fair'. The Jaguar currently registers an unwarranted 89,464 miles and comes complete with tax and MOT to April 2015.
