According to the owner:
This classic Jag has been driven approx. 2000 miles in the last 40 years. I spent approx. $10,000 over the past 2 years cleaning up the car and having the mechanics brought up to speed. Interior is original style and is approx. 6-8 years old. Most of the exhaust is new with new wide white wall tires with original hubcaps

Has the original top frame with new canvas top still in the box. Side curtains are original and mild restoration done to original plastic windows.
