This Daytona Evocation presents extremely well in the classic colour of Ferrari red with Connolly leather seats, Wilton carpets and a Nardi steering wheel. HKH 862L retains the identity and the 5.3 litre, V12 engine of its Jaguar XJ12 donor car. A comprehensive recommissioning of this Daytona took place in 2013. At that time, special attention was paid to the cars indicators, door rubbers, pop-up headlamps and instruments. The extensive work undertaken at this time included the fitting of a reconditioned power steering rack, the changing of both the gearbox and engine oil, a new battery, radiator and double lined mohair hood.
