The original interior was subject to an extensive re-trim. Works included complete re-trim of the original bucket leather seats, new carpets throughout in original specification bright red.
The supple red leather presents beautifully with a lovely factory finish. The seat bases show no signs of wear, matching door cards with flawless chrome door furniture, signature aluminium center console and dash facia, leather trimmed dash top, chrome aircraft style buckle lap belts all present in perfect order.
All interior lighting, crystal clear Smiths gauges, switches and electrics work as they were intended. A wood rim 3 spoke steering wheel with original Jaguar boss completes this stunning interior... Exceptional attention to detail.
A full photographic restoration was carried out over the 7 year restoration period. Painted in the original colour Jaguar Carmen Red, the paint finish and bodywork is magnificent with a uniform deep gloss shine throughout, perfect factory panel fit, shut lines and gaps. The underside finish is equally as good as the top... Simply outstanding.
'Originality' was key during the restoration, original brightwork was replated where possible or replaced with quality new items, Lucas lighting all around with better performing Lucas H4 halogen headlights and all glass unmarked.
A new correct specification black mohair hood fitted with new chrome trim and new hood frame. The hood opens and closes with ease and fits perfectly. A brand new black mohair full tonneau compliments this exceptional roadster... Wonderful
The 5 chrome 72 spoke wire wheels and 2-eared spinners are flawless and dressed with all matching excellent Dunlop SP Sport 185 VR15 tyres.
The brake system has been completely replaced giving the car excellent braking feel and capability. Servo-assisted disc brakes all round, three-piston calipers at the front and two-piston for the rear.
All new steering is precise and responsive, fully rebuilt suspension throughout... She handles beautifully.
The fully detailed engine and engine bay house the incredible Jaguar 3781cc straight 6 engine, 265 bhp at 5500 rpm, 260 ft-lb torque at 4000 rpm with triple 2-inch SU carburettors and high gloss black enamelled exhaust manifolds.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate documents that this is a correct numbers matching car, original engine block and cylinder head.
On the road she cannot fail to impress and what a joy to drive. The original Moss manual gearbox selects with ease, the clutch is light in operation, gear changes slick and precise and starts hot or cold without issue. The 3.8 Series crisp exhaust note is magical through the full stainless exhaust system with horned tailpipes.
