“The V12 Jaguar is truly stunning.The overall presentation is that of a quality restored show car. The car runs cool and is a joy to drive. The vehicle’s brilliant red paint scheme coupled with the black leather upholstery is a wonderful choice of a factory color for this automobile.

·The paint and body work are combinations of number one and two conditions (show car condition)

·The engine compartment is well detailed and shows no signs of deterioration in any area

·The bright work is also outstanding

·The upholstery is also outstanding and displays itself in leather

·The chassis has been detailed and appears to have been completely restored to original factory specifications

·The wire wheels are in excellent condition.They are true factory style knockoff (hub) wheels.

·The car comes complete with a set of Jaguar tools.

The vehicle has been completely restored in every area and is a solid overall number two condition vehicle. Coupled with 12 cylinders and being a roadster, and painted red, is a good as it gets for this year and series of vehicle.”
