This 1958 example is a particularly appealing prospect. It is an original UK-supplied, right-hand-drive car with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate that has undergone a comprehensive nine-year restoration, encompassing both body and mechanicals, with renewed brightwork, fresh panels, and a rebuilt engine among the highlights. 

The vendor describes it as a very usable car that will put a smile on your face, and we're very much inclined to agree; pure Jaguar magic from the marque's golden age.
