Sellers description:
This car has been enjoyed by my wife (who happens to be the Golden-Globe winning, 5-time Emmy nominated, retired television star Ruth Buzzi) and myself on several cross-country excursions, from California to Texas, to New Orleans, down to through Texas hill country, etc. and has always delivered us safely and without incident. It's an eye-catching color and has the most universally appealing body shape of almost any car made. That, and the performance of these cars, caused Jaguar to sell more than 20,000 units during its production run of 5 years, so it was very, very popular even though I think it cost more than a new Cadillac at the time. This car sticks to the road like glue around corners, and today it steers as nicely as it did the day it left Coventry.

I fell so much in love with the 3.4 litre Mk2's that I bought 4 of them for my collection. My age dictates that I take some reasonable steps to simplify things a bit,

Seller's description:

This is an excellent example of a loved Jaguar by the Hollywood actor couple Kent Perkins and Ruth Buzzi. This car was kept in their collection until I purchased it a few years ago when they were making room in their car stable for another Rolls Royce that was being totally restored. A little bit of internet searching will likely turn up some pictures of the car in the couples photo archives. Since I have owned it I have been basically replacing old or broken interior pieces and some minor restoration work under the hood to include an improved air intake, the original is in the trunk. During its life the car has had the seat reupholstered and a paint job. She comes with the original wire rims with knock off hubs. The vehicle has never left the Southern Hemisphere so it is free from rust. While cleaning and detailing the engine well some attention was paid to the top of the radiator to reveal its brass glory.
