Finished in grey with red leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "original / A1" (engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis), "original / excellent" (bodywork, paintwork) or "A1" (wheels / tyres) condition. Reportedly "owned by garage proprietor / Jaguar specialist Arthur Williams and his family for forty-five years", '390 NVT' is further understood to have covered just 31,000 miles from new. Apparently never exercised on wet roads, the saloon is said to "drive like a new car". Something of a timewarp, this appealing, low mileage MK2 is offered for sale with "original logbook / manuals etc" and MOT certificate valid until April 2008.

A two owner time warp with just 36,000 mies covered from new. It is a totally original matching numbers example in really lovely untouched conditon. The owner now wishes to part with it due to his advanced age & simply seeks the money he gave for it a few years ago prior to entering his caring ownership.

To the exterior is its original pale grey paintwork in very good condition. The interior is red leather as it left Brown's Lane along with unchanged burr walnut woodwork. Under the bonnet the car is tidy & lovely as might be expected. The six cylinder twin cam fires up readily & provides plenty of performance. The manual gear box has good syncromesh & a taut tight feel to it commensurate with the low miles covered. Being a disc brake equiped car from new it stops as well as it goes.

It is always a pleasure to find low mile untouched cars like this & is definitely one for a collector or marque afficionado. It was raining on the day we saw the car so we will be re-photographing it again in the future.
