DESCRIPTION

  • Originally supplied by Hoddesdon Motor Co. Herts in March 1973 as a right-hand drive, Fixed Head Coupe – #1S51689, before being fully rebuilt some years later by English Classic Cars of Distinction in Southam utilising a fully refurbished ‘roadster’ shell
  • Classically finished in Regency Red with Tan Hide and Cinnamon carpets
  • Commissioned at the time by Mr MD Hurrell, a resident of Monaco where , once completed and now in left-hand drive configuration, it spent many a happy year within the Principality
  • Subtle enhancements including the addition of a five-speed gearbox fitted with touring in mind
  • Eventually passing to its next custodian who resided in Marbella at the time, remaining there before eventually returning to the UK in 2006
  • Purchased by our vendor and current owner in 2022, used sparingly during his fastidious ownership being maintained as and when required and kept in superb condition throughout
  • Recent works, in preparation for sale, include a comprehensive recommissioning by Twyford Moors, renowned Jaguar specialist, with invoices on file for in excess of £7,000
