A late example of the iconic drophead from Jaguar. Very much an original machine sporting a later respray and now showing signs of wear and tear but still smart. The paintwork is generally OK but it has some localised issues regarding the finish and would benefit from some remedial work and professional polishing. There is some evidence of repairs to the lower sills and corrosion in the floor area. The interior shows great originality with honest patination which is appealing to the collector and enthusiast. The hood mechanism works well and although there appears no damage to the cover the plastic rear window has suffered a split in one of the folds. Wheels and tyres show some ageing but are serviceable.

Running and driving but would need some re-commissioning. It comes with the V5C certificate showing 5 former owners, original handbook, and a good history file which includes various receipts, past MoTs and purchase invoices. The last MoT expired on 17th May 2018. This rare RHD example is one for the enthusiast with some practical skills that could improve it and use it.
