GORGEOUS RESTORATION!!
Surely one of the most beautiful cars ever made! Lovingly restored in Dark Blue Metallic and Silver. This car has had extensive restoration and is as follows:
Interior - Original seats have been restored, no tears, soft, supple leather. The carpets have been replaced with original Wilton wool. All the woodwork has been restored to a soft, not garish, finish, new headlining. Brand new air conditioning has been discreetly fitted with the battery moved to the trunk to accomodate the AC.
Exterior - Complete refinish in Silver over Dark Blue metallic. . .this combination makes the vehicle look remarkable! She was originally Gold and I have pictures taken before the restoration began. Very little body work was performed as this car was rust-free with no imperfections. The original wheels have been treated. The chrome was replated where necessary and it all shows well.
Engine - The engine, having sat for 30 odd years in a garage in Maryland was completely rebuilt and now has less than 400 miles on it. The transmission has Overdrive. The exhaust was replaced and the radiator and fuel tank restored. This car is very original and the matching numbers are:
Car No. 178031DN
Body No. E052420
Engine No. KH4628-8
Gearbox No. GBN6194JS (note: the J could be a 2)
There is some original documentation which will support the mileage as stated. Briefly, the car was purchased new and put into storage in Virginia upon the owners death in 1972. A neighbor purchased it from the widow in early 2005 and sold it to an English gentleman in Florida in June, 2005 just as he purchased it. The restoration work was done by him over the next 18 months and I purchased it in early 2007 and trailered it to Tucson, had some additional work done and have garaged it until now. The car drives well; the only modifications being the exterior color and the fitting of the A/C unit which was needed both in FL and AZ. Health problems require that I part with my complete collection of Jags or I would certainly keep this one!
