Finished in the delightful period colour combination of Old English White coachwork with St James Red hide, matching door cards, dash and Wilton Carpets. mohair soft and coconut weave over carpets finish off the ultra sharp look of the car. Our matching numbered car #S811983 was delivered new in LHD form and supplied new via agents JAGUAR CARS of NEW YORK.

It is evident to see upon viewing that #S811983 has been subject to a body off restoration and since these works had been carried out the car has seen little use. The underside of the car can only be described as exquisite, with a gloss black chassis with mirror finish gleaming chrome work and mm perfect panel fitment. First turn of the key, the car starts with ease, the instruments all springing into life. Once the engine has settled down, ran up to temp the oil pressure reads correct – depress the accelerator of the ‘big cat‘ and it lights up its tyres propelling you down the road with ease!.

On the button, this sensational car is ready once again to motor down those long straight stretches of the Routes-Nationales with their tall poplar trees lining the long straights. Magnifique!
