This example was supplied in kit form from Suffolk Sportscars Ltd, whose products are widely recognised as having the most accurate dimensions, and constructed by the vendor over a period of six months using a Jaguar 420 donor vehicle. An article about the build process was published in Suffolk magazine in 2011, a copy of which is contained in the history file. Completed in 2010, and registered with the period Suffolk number LGV 248, the car has covered just c.1650 miles since. Finished in Ecurie Ecosse blue, the specification includes a VSE supplied fast-road 3.8-litre engine breathing through twin SUs, 4-speed overdrive XJ6 gearbox, disc brakes all round, torsion bars, collapsible steering column and Blockley tyres. Copies of the build sheets and invoices accompany the car together with a Swansea V5C and MoT to August 2017. Constructed with great attention to detail, this wonderful evocation is now only being offered for sale due to a house move.
