According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, '757 LCV' was first supplied in Pearl Grey with a Red interior by Henlys of London on 15th May 1961 and we understand from the buff logbook that this was to John Geoffrey King of the Red Lion Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall. Mr King only owned the MkII for around a year with David Bridges of St Agnes, Cornwall becoming the second owner from 1962. It is believed that the sports saloon passed through two more keepers before being restored in the 1990s which is documented within the history folder. The vendor bought the Jaguar in 1997 and has continued to enjoy and maintain it since then.
