Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, fender mirrors, driving lights, SU H8 2 sandcast carburetors, 5 speed gearbox. Restored eight years ago and prepared for road tour events. Shows some use but also careful attention.

Market commentary

Bid to $50,000 but not sold at RMs Amelia Island auction in 2001, the right bidders were lying in wait at the Biltmore and kept after this Jag. It was worth the 3 years wait, at least for the seller. The 5 speed will be much less challenging to drive than the original Moss box, and should give outstinding road performance, particularly with the uprated engines added power for high speed, low rpm cruising.
