I owned this car in the late 60s ( I think I have the date correct)I have often wondered whether this car had survived. I had a report from a friend who had seen at a Jaguar Driver's Club event at Silverstone. When I owned it had blue (Metallic?) bodywork. I would be interested to know more about
its current whereabouts

My Dad, Robbie Vincent who owned R Vincent Coachworks, restored this car. He still has lots of photos of all the cars he's restored over the years! Beautiful.
