Description
The current owner also planned to undertake the project but, with several other British restoration projects already demanding attention, has concluded that there simply is not enough time available and is therefore offering the car to someone better placed to see it through.
The engine starts readily and, once warmed up, settles into a reasonably smooth idle. The extent of any previous work carried out on the drivetrain is unknown, and the relatively low odometer reading cannot be verified. Following a short test drive, the mechanicals felt fundamentally sound, although prospective buyers should expect a degree of refurbishment throughout the vehicle's technical systems.
As the photographs clearly show, substantial work will be required to the bodywork, floorpan, and structural areas. However, a considerable number of parts are already included with the car, including replacement sill sections and various additional components, providing a useful head start for the restoration.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
As previously noted, the car is drivable in its current condition. That said, we would be somewhat surprised if it were to pass a roadworthiness inspection without further work. Based on our assessment, the gauges and instruments appear to be functioning as intended. A complete overhaul of the braking system should be considered a likely necessity before the car is returned to regular use.
-
Interior condition
As the photographs clearly show, there are holes in the front floor sections on both sides, although the rear floor area appears to be in considerably better condition. The dashboard presents well, while the seats display an honest and attractive patina. The door panels are either in poor condition or missing altogether.
The front seats appear to have been sourced from another Jaguar model, but the original seats are included with the car, as shown in the photographs. A new carpet set is also included, providing a useful foundation for the interior restoration. -
Exterior condition
A considerable amount of rust is present across large areas of the car. The chrome is in driver-quality condition. The exterior trim is generally poor throughout and should be replaced.
-
General condition
A wonderful Jaguar model that deserves a new lease on life. A car that, in all likelihood, will continue to appreciate in value over time. The scope of the restoration is entirely up to the next owner—whether guided by available time, enthusiasm, or budget.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
