First registered in 1964

In current ownership since May 2019

Underwent a mechanical and electrical restoration from 2019 onwards

The vendor reports that they're the fifth owner

Most of the restoration invoices are available, but the maintenance log is not

The serial numbers are reported to match

Paperwork includes:

Latest Controle Technique, listing the failure notes and what needs to be rectified

Registration document

A selection of invoices

The Condition

The top of the body, driver's side, has a small impact - an accident when fitting the sun visor

The cream paintwork is in good order and presents very nicely

Chromework is nicely presented

Continental-style yellow light lenses in situ

Dashboard restored by a cabinetmaker

Roof lining redone by Sellerie 2000 (invoice provided)

All carpets have been changed

The leathers are in very good condition

Always stored in a garage

The Mechanics

3.4L Jaguar XK I6 powerplant

4-speed manual transmission and overdrive

A cut-off switch has been installed

A new heating valve is present in the glove box but is yet to be fitted

The Controle Technique pointed out:

Parking brake travel is too long

Brake lights are defective

Damage to one of the crossbeams is noted

Some minor deformation to the chassis

Some corrosion

Some play in the steering wheel

Suspension joints require some attention

However, following these repairs it should prove to be an excellent, capable classic
