Forming part of a large private collection in Belgium for a number of years it has the privilege of being part of a well loved and well maintained family of cars that has received much care and attention. It is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate confirming that it was built in mid August 1953 and was dispatched to the US importer Max Hoffman. The car is also accompanied by an all important FIVA passport, confirming its identity and making it eligible for many historic motoring events. We can also confirm that this car was driven to London from Europe to attend the sale, this lucky driver stating its performance to be smooth and effortless. A beautiful example of its kind.

World acknowledged classic, this fine motor car is presented here in good order.
