Purchased by my grandfather in the 1960s and I remember going out in it when I was a boy. I subsequently purchased the car from my grandmother in the 1980s with a view to restoring it. A full restoration took place under my instruction between 1992 and 1995. The car was entered for Champion of Champions at the NEC along with other Jaguars in 1996. It also entered the Northern Classic car show at G-Mex in 1995.
