Interior & Equipment
The luxurious hand crafted cream leather upholstery is a superb contrast to the Arctic Blue Metallic exterior paintwork and flawless navy roof with fine grey contrast stitching.
The supple cream leather seats piped in navy retain an unblemished appearance with a lovely factory texture having never been reconnolised. The seat bases are plump and show no signs of sagging, and the bolsters present in excellent order, the electronic lumbar support and seat heating operate just as they were intended.
The original deep pile tan carpet is in excellent order throughout and unmarked. The original hand-polished Burr Walnut inlays are in excellent order with no evidence of cracking or lifting. All interior lighting, gauges, switches, trip computer and electrics work as they should, fitted with the original Jaguar removable Dolby radio cassette stereo system with 4 speakers.
In the unmarked boot, you will find the perfect navy tonneau cover in its original protection sleeve, two car covers, original tool kit, first aid kit, and Jaguar shoulder bag... Pure Luxury
Exterior
Finished in factory Arctic Blue Metallic with a dual pinstripe, the all original paintwork has a brilliant, uniform deep shine throughout. All original panels are perfectly straight, totally rust free and gaps as per it left the factory.
All original lights front and rear are in exceptional order with uniform colour and a silky polished finish. The flawless navy electric mohair soft top operates at the touch of a button swiftly, quietly and smoothly as the rear windows glide out of sight. There's no evidence of wear, and it retains its even colour throughout, as does the Factory supplied tonneau cover.
All brightwork is in excellent original order as are the rubber bumper inserts which tend to distort and fade with age, the factory Triplex tinted glass is unmarked and all original... Wonderful
