This gorgeous Jaguar has its correct drivetrain and is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate. It has been restored with perfect body and paint work, new upholstery and interior kit with new canvas top.

The 3,442-cc, 160-hp DOHC inline six-cylinder engine has a new ignition system, rebuilt original SU carbs, new generator and voltage regulator, rebuilt original water pump, original radiator that has been cleaned and tested, new speedometer and tachometer cables, new harmonic balancer, new motor mounts, new electric fuel pump and new battery. The Jaguar also has a new replacement intake manifold.

The car has new rear springs and rebuilt original lever arm shocks. Front end suspension and steering has been redone with new tie-rods, bushings, ball-joints and new GAZ adjustable shocks. Additionally the roadster has received new brake master cylinders, new wheel cylinders, new brake shoes and new brake hoses. The steel-disc wheels are fitted with period correct Universal tires. The instrumentation is original to the car and they are rebuilt. In the trunk of this highly-detailed example is the original jack and lug wrench. The engine compartment and trunk were also recently cosmetically restored and the front grille was re-chromed.

The transmission seals have all been replaced; furthermore the transmission is cleaned and the spring tensioners adjusted. The case is held with new transmission mounts.

Stunning in all respects, it presents beautifully in show-quality condition, complete with its proper steel disc-wheels and spats; highlighting the rakish body design in its purest form.
