Equipment

Market commentary

Sold by Brooks at Beaulieu in 1998 for +28,900 ($47,377 at the time) then at Goodwood a year later for +52,900 ($84,451). Some +12,000 has been spent since on accessories and other work, money which hasnt been recovered in this transation at +51,000 including commission. The coachwork is rather bulky in the passenger compartment, looking more Bentley than Jaguar, which may account for its limited appeal here among so many very attractive SS Jaguars.
