Its unique specification included chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds, Aerosport diamond-cut alloy wheels, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom, a black handbrake lever with full leather cover, a leaping Jaguar embossed into the leather in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover
- Powered by the naturally-aspirated, AJ16 4-litre straight-six, delivering 238bhp to the rear wheels through a 4-speed ZF automatic gearbox
- Finished in Sapphire Blue with Oatmeal leather piped in Charcoal, this example has clearly been pampered and is in superb condition
- Complete with its original book pack, current V5C, MOT Certificates and its current MOT valid until February 2025 and issued with 'No Advisories'
- Accompanied by main-dealer service history and will be serviced as required prior to the sale in March
