This Jaguar is an original matching numbers example with mind-boggling actual mileage of 49,766 miles! Yes you read it right a 49,766 mile California car garaged it whole life and maintained by the same mechanic for the past 50years! The exterior is Dove Grey with Tan leather interior and a Fawn canvas top. It was built on 30 October, 1952, and was delivered to Jaguar distributor Mr. Charles Hornburg of Los Angeles, CA, USA. The first owner was a Mr. R.H. Nelson of Los Angeles, California. Mr. Nelson sold the car to Ms. Mary Maron of Pebble Beach, CA. Ms. Maron had the car maintained by British motorcar specialist Mr. Eddie Eagling owner of Continental Auto Repair on Cannery Row in Monterey, CA. Ms. Maron needing a more practical daily driver sold the car to Mr. Eagling in 1958. The Eagling family has owned, maintained, and operated the car since this time.

The car has been maintained to original condition except for the following; Ms. Maron had the car repainted in Red color during her ownership. The Eagling family had the car resprayed back to original color of Dove Grey by Mr. Jerry Graham of Graham’s Auto Body in 2001. Also at that time new Connelly tan leather and Fawn canvas top were installed.

This vehicle comes with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.
