Originally supplied by Hoddesdon Motor Co Herts in March 1973 as a right-hand drive Fixed-Head Coupé – #1S51689 - before being fully rebuilt some years later by English Classic Cars of Distinction in Southam utilising a fully refurbished Roadster shell

Classically finished in Regency Red with tan hide and Cinnamon carpets

Commissioned at the time by a resident of Monaco where, once completed and now in left-hand drive configuration, it spent many a happy year within the Principality

Subtle enhancements including the addition of a 5-speed gearbox fitted with touring in mind

Eventually passing to its next custodian who resided in Marbella at the time, remaining there before eventually returning to the UK in 2006

Purchased by our vendor and current owner in 2022, used sparingly during his fastidious ownership being maintained as and when required and kept in superb condition throughout

Recent works, in preparation for sale, include a comprehensive recommissioning by Twyford Moors, renowned Jaguar specialist, with invoices on file for in excess of £7,000

A delightful Series 3 that is now ready for its next custodian, your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer
