Black soft top and full-length wet weather cover trimmed in matching mohair, the attention to detail of the workmanship which went into the trimming is perfection. Equipped with body coloured wire wheels which makes the Jag look mean on the street and chrome embossed two ear spinners which add class. Light weight bumpers and correct 770 head lamps finish off the period look.

It looked as through the engine had never been removed from the engine bay. Original hose clamps are still on the hoses. The pictures show some of the original details. This would be the distributor cap, the clamps and the coil. Being an early car there some distinguishing features you will not see on the later cars, they are the early style rear axle, the vented front brakes, the coil located underneath the intake and a button that you would press to check the oil in the sump and your fuel level making this car a restorers dream base for restoration.
