Heritage Notes
From the Heritage Certificate: An "S" prefix to the chassis number is requried for the vehicle to be acknowledged a Special Equipment model. The paint, "Twilight Blue", is a non-standard color not show on the '52 color list, supplied to special order. From the personal note attached to the Certificate, signed by Karen Miller of Jaguar Cars Inc. Archives: I find the color question intriguing. It is the second departure from standard blues, the other being "Valentine Blue". No samples exist of either color.

I am the third owner of the car, having purchased it in March of 2005. The second owner, John Stewart, purchased it from Ward Beecher on July 31, 1963 (Mr. Stewart was 18 at the time). The car was Twilight Blue with Duotone Blue interior, and had every Special Equipment component. It also had a pivoting, quick-fill fuel cap but a standard-capacity fuel tank. Mr. Beecher told Mr. Stewart at the time that he had ordered the car with these components from the factory through a personal friendship with Max Hoffman--although there is seemingly no record of this in the car's official build sheet.

I also have a Twilight blue car S672814 OTS SE with duo blue seats. It has all of the SE options. This data is confirmed on the Heritage sheet.
It is very close to the paint colour on 672593. The car is in the process of being restored. I have saved original panels with the Twilight Blue for reference . panels were sent to ICI who have duplicated the colour.
