Finished in its original striking colour combination Azure Blue with contrasting Cinnamon leather interior, 'TJJ 289M' was originally dispatched from Browns Lane to Henlys of London in 1973.

An original right-hand drive, late Series III 5.3 litre V12 Fixedhead Coupe 2+2, this beautiful looking automatic car also benefits from being a matching engine and chassis numbers car as confirmed by its Jaguar heritage Certificate. Built in July 1973, this car has the pleasure of a webasto sunroof for those long summer days.

There is a history file supplied with the car containing details of previous owners and includes over 30 years of invoices and MoTs showing mileage and maintenance records which including a complete engine rebuild in 1987 at circa 54,000 miles. There is a photographic record showing a complete bare metal strip down and rebuild to bodywork in 1992 and further photographs of a full brake, suspension and sub frame replacement rebuild in 2006.

The car was recently fully serviced at 89,700 miles, including new fan belts, new handbrake pads, new fluids and three new tyres, the current mileage stands at 90,011 unwarranted miles. The MoT expiry date is 08/07/2015.

The car presents very well in its original colour combination and the chrome is still in excellent condition. The wire wheels catch your eye. And upon opening the doors the Cinnamon leather looks sharp. When you place your hands on the wheel and start her up, the 5.3-litre V12 sounds fabulous. We are advised that the oil pressure is good; the gearbox changes up and down smoothly and we are told the car drives well.
