Other work which could improve the car further?
The headlining is pinned up. It’s not hanging down, and looks tidy overall, but ideally it could be replaced.
The boot lock doesn’t work on the central locking, so it has to be locked manually on the key. So in summary, a rare and beautiful early XJ40, in top spec, in great overall condition, rare colour and very low mileage, great history, with a long MOT, ready to drive away. What more could you want?
