This Old English Ivory example is fitted with a stunning two-tone crimson and biscuit interior and comes complete with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. It has been restored to concours quality standards, having travelled just 240 kilometres since restoration. The body was taken off the chassis and the car benefits from new alloy rear wings, as well as doors and a boot lid. Retaining its left-hand drive configuration, it has been modified for enhanced driving performance, with a Getrag 5-speed manual transmission and four-pot brake callipers, whilst the engine has been balanced and lightened, flowed and ported, and benefits from 5.08 cm SU carburettors and an alloy radiator. With excellent performance, handling and balance. This example is sure to offer its next enthusiast owner those same thrills, be it around town or along the Cote d'Azur.
