Finished in Old English White with a red leather interior, JGA 724 is described by the vendor as being in excellent condition throughout, and comes complete with its original brown buff log book, a collection of old MoT certificates and invoices, and the aforementioned photographic evidence of its restoration.

Saleroom notices

Engine: Please note although the engine head and block bear the correct serial number to the chassis plate - W2711-7 - the engine is not the original unit. Furthermore, the engine block is cracked and will require a replacement, with subsequent rebuild to a greater or lesser extent. Bearing in mind the anticipated expenditure the Seller wishes the Jaguar to be priced accordingly and we are pleased to re-estimate the car at £40,000 - 50,000.
