Market commentary
Offered by Auctions America at Burbank in 2013 with a reported high bid of $105,000, then at Mecum Monterey last August with a bid of $100,000. The new owner was all over this car after the sale, like someone who had just successfully bagged long sought prey. Its not inexpensive, nor necessarily acceptable to the Jaguar purists but it will be a great track day car and a hoot on the California Mille or Colorado Grand. There are a lot of very desirable bits and pieces on it, as well, like the Speedpilot and Borrani wire wheels, and it is a sound value at this price.
