The accompanying old-style logbook records two keepers: Major John Greenish of London SW1 (January 1957 to December 1957) and Flight Sergeant Thomas Jacks of Windsor House, Norfolk from December 1957 to (it is believed) circa 1979. 'TJH 791' was then sold at auction and was driven by its new owner, Mr Rupert Arkell, until October 1982 when it was dismantled for a rebuild. From February 1987 the Jaguar was owned by Mr Brian Arculus of Foxfields, West Sussex, followed by the current vendor, who has owned it since August 1993. It is obvious that the car has been restored but there are no records of when this was carried out or by whom.

Kept in storage since acquisition, the XK is offered fresh from re-commissioning which included the installation of a custom-made Radtec aluminium radiator together with all new coolant and heater hoses, a full service and successful MoT test. Currently taxed, the car comes with an extensive history file containing the aforementioned old-style logbook; V5 registration document; a quantity of expired MoT certificates; period correspondence from the Jaguar factory; and numerous related articles and magazines of interest.
