This is a nice if little rough FHC maufactured on 15th May 1964. It can be driven as is or is an excellent candidate for further upgrades. The car was restored by its enthusiast last owner with body repairs including new floors, valences and sills and then resprayed in its original colour of Opalescent Maroon. The interior has been fitted with new seats and dashtop and partly retrimmed in its original Black leather colour, however the headlining has sagged and requires attention.

This FHC is fitted with a non matching 3.8 litre engine with a 4.2 litre inlet manifold. The engine has been rebuilt with new polished big valves and the valves have been reseated and the engine mounted on new frame bolts. The transmission has been checked, the car changed to negative earth and fitted with electronic ignition. The brakes have been overhauled and the radiator has been rebuilt. The car has been sealed and waxoyled. The odometer reads 84,144 miles. It comes with a Jaguar Heritage certificate, has a Dutch registration and is ready for the road.
