A nut and bolt restoration completed by marque specialists from 2014 to 2017 at a cost exceeding £150,000 with only 115 miles since. In single ownership for the last thirty nine years. It retains its original registration and all key components. Exceptional value that cannot be replicated for the sale price mindful of the chassis, parts supply chain, restorer of choice and their availability, road fund licence and UK MoT exempt.

'The Jaguar has had a very expensive and detailed restoration, bringing the car back to almost concours condition and certainly better than new. The additional upgrades have improved the 1964 specification, but not altered the presentation. Taking into account the overall condition of the Jaguar, quality of restoration, the upgrades and the original number plate, I would place a value at the time of this report at £240,000.
