The Appeal
What could be more perfect than gliding along hedge-lined country roads in a blue blooded British sports convertible? Or heading off to warmer coastal climes somewhere in Southern Europe?
In this very smart Jaguar convertible you could do either, arriving relaxed and unruffled, whether it’s at a favoured country pub or idyllic coastal retreat. You’d get there as quickly as needed too, with some 370bhp available to the wheels from that potent V8 powerplant.
This is a very well kept example of these exemplary cars, finished in tasteful Pacific Blue with a contrasting ivory leather interior. The history file reinforces the sense of a car that has been looked after by its few owners.
That impression is reinforced by the long MOT to March 2025, meaning it comes to the buyer absolutely ready to jump in and enjoy.
