Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Moto Lita 4 spoke woodrim steering wheel, chrome wire wheels. Excellent paint, chrome, interior wood and upholstery. Restored in the early 90s and little used since. The odometer shows only 1,448 miles. No longer fresh but a handsome and effective car for tours and events that will defer to none of its counterparts in performance or presentation.

Market commentary

This car brought just $99,692 (GBP 58,300 at the time) when sold in March 1992 by Coy, fresh from its restoration. Inflation and collectors preference for XK Jaguars have move on since then, but even at that this is a most generous result.
