I restored this excellent Jaguar 5 years ago. It has less than 1000 mile on a complete rotisserie restoration. The car was restored for my wife to use so I spared no expense to make it a perfect driver. It has an upgraded cooling system with an aluminum radiator and a hi-torque starter. I added a R-134 under dash air conditioner and a marvelous 5 speed transmission. The engine was rebuilt and the car was painted back to the original silver with the totally new original color red interior. All the chrome was redone and I had an invisible bra installed on the nose and on the rocker panels. We broke the car in carefully and when I asked my wife when she was going to drive her most favorite car of all time, she said "Never"! I think the long hood and the manual transmission with the hills in our area make her worried about hurting it. The car sits in our garage and does not get the exercise it deserves. I think the car is close to perfect. The flaws I notice are; the rear window has some light scratches on it, the front bumper on the drivers side has a little chrome flaw on the edge, the left rear wheel chrome is starting to degrade and that is all I can find. The car has been very popular at every show we have taken it to. The color combination is unbelievable as the pictures show. If you want more information, I would be happy to provide it.
