Equipment
Modified engine with triple SU carbs, Isky cams, 10:1 compression and dual point ignition, silver wire wheels, blackwall tires, windwings, fender mirrors, cloth top, leather interior.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Restored 20 years ago but still shows very good paint, chrome and interior. A quality older restoration that is holding up very well, generously documented. Two owners from new showing 47,359 probably original miles, many of them in its early life with Philip Litchfield at Lime Rock Park.
Market commentary
It is easy to like this Jag, even with the modifications. They might not appeal to purists, but this is how the car -- and others like it -- would be used when new, a little window into how it was with sports car owners in the 1950s. A fair result for both the buyer and the seller.
