In 1965 the third owner, a Mr Trevor Hanks of Forest Hill, London acquired the car, which has been in the current (fourth) owner’s hands since 1980. Finished in grey with red leather interior, and equipped with the optional sunroof, the Jaguar has been preserved in highly original condition and is running well, though careful re-commissioning is advised before returning it to the road.
