Restored some years ago although in need of some attention throughout, the elegant lines of this inspired design still shine through. It is reported that 1995 saw a full engine rebuild and since then it has covered some 6,000 trouble free miles. The history file contains a UK V5C registration certificate, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate attesting to its correct engine and chassis numbers although it does note that it has been the subject of a colour change to its current Old English White. An MoT test certificate is also present and valid until September, 2012. The engine pulls well and with a little tlc, this most elegant of post-war saloons could once again rival its Bentley counterpart as it so often did.
