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!.
