An exceptional example that has clearly been cherished and maintained correctly since new.
It is believed that this car had two UK owners until it was recommended to a collector in Brussels in April 1986 by the then Jaguar Drivers Club MK VII Register Secretary Peter Griffiths (letter on file) stating ‘It is in beautiful condition, and has a ‘C’ Type head, so it is quick as well’.
The car was purchased on Mr Griffiths recommendation (sales invoice on file) and remained in Antwerp until 2022.
Initially, the car was used sparingly in Belgium. The owner recorded the car's trips in a handwritten log including entries into Jaguar Drivers Club Holland events (entry cards on file).
Some years later the car was stored in underground storage in Antwerp with the collectors’ other cars until he passed away in 2021. The car was later gifted to a friend of the collector. He retrieved the car from underground storage (pictures on file) and carried out recommissioning over a 12-month period including a brake, coolant, and fuel system overhaul.
The paintwork and bodywork are in excellent condition. The interior including woodwork and headlining remain in exceptional original condition with no tears or damage to the leather seats. Both factory front door tool kits are original and complete.
Currently registered in the UK with its original UK registration number.
A Jaguar MKVII with such exceptional originality and patina as this car is almost impossible to find.
