Resplendent in gleaming red paint over a biscuit leather interior with polished wood dashboard trim, this elegant left-hand-drive 3.4 MkI sedan was factory-equipped with a manual four-speed transmission that includes an overdrive gear. There are disc brakes all around, with wire wheels and cutaway rear-wheel spats adding to its good looks and performance character. Its odometer currently displays 62,649 miles.

This handsome Jaguar presents a great opportunity to acquire a good-looking, sleekly-styled small Jag that still offers performance equal to many modern four-doors.
