This particular car was one of just 329 V12 Coupe's built in 1977 and was sold new to the then deputy Chairman of ICI and has since had just 2 further owners. The car has extensive early history (including all M.O.T's from new) in the file with lots of original documentation, including all invoices and the original handbooks and service books. The vendor has owned the car since 1984 and has given the car regular and continuous maintenance ever since. In the mid 1990's he carried out a full restoration which is documented and photographed in the comprehensive history file which included new front wings and new sills as well as a full professional repaint.The car still features the original Tudor Webasto sunroof, Radiomobile radio/tape player, chrome hubcaps and a new stainless steel exhaust. Used only on special occasions and when the sun is shining, the mileage today is just 43,200

It surely now represents a rare chance to enjoy a bit of Jaguar history within a reasonable price range, in true comfort and style, with the reassuring knowledge that your monies have been well invested.
