Great car in exceptional condition. Fully restored some 10 years ago with limited mileage since. Matching numbers. Stunning car.

SOLD in Holland

Great 2 owner car in a beautiful colour combination of Dark Blue with Red interior trim.

The car was fully restored some 10 years ago and is still in exceptional condition.

This car was produced on the 5th of August 1965. It was then supplied through Jaguar Cars New York to its first owner Oik Marechal, La Jolla, California. Mr. Marechal bought this car for his wife, Fay Marechal, for which he put a plaque on the centre dashboard stating her name. This plaque is still present on the dashboard today.

In the early nineties the car was bought by its previous Dutch owner. This owner had the car completely restored at a well known Dutch restoration company with no expenses spared. The starting point of this restoration was its fully original rust and accident free bodyshell. The car is fitted with a stainless steel sports exhaust system, extra wide chrome wire wheels, Pirelli P4000 tires, tinted glass, sports type steering wheel and a modern type radio.

Since restoration the car has only covered 6300 miles. The car is in perfect overall condition both cosmetically as well as mechanically. A truly stunning car.

The car is matching numbers, comes with a Heritage Certificate and is currently on Dutch EU registration.
