Market commentary
It's hard to figure out how this early flat floor, welded louver, outside bonnet latch Jag settles down with the 5-speed and 4-piston aluminum caliper front brakes. The Retromobile bidders seem to have reached a compromise with the seller. Now the new owner will have to decide whether to enjoy it as it is or take it back to its original configuration and go win some prizes. Either way it is a sound value at this price.
