A late example of this iconic drophead from the Jaguar stable. Very much an original machine sporting later respray and now showing signs of wear and tear but still very smart. The paintwork is generally ok but has some localized issues as regarding the finish and would benefit greatly from some remedial work and professional polishing. Some evidence of repairs to the lower sills and corrosion to the floor area. The interior shows great originality with honest patination which is hugely appealing to the collector and enthusiast. The hood mechanism works well and there appear to be no damage to the cover but the plastic glass rear window has suffered a split in one of the folds. Wheels and tyres show some ageing but are serviceable. Running and driving but would need some recommissioning. This rare RHD example is one for the enthusiastic with some practical skills that could improve and use it.
