Market commentary
A wonderful car, but Jaguar traditionalists will view the changes as heresy. At this very high price the new owner has to decide if he will enjoy its improved performance on the road or maintain it at the current show queen level. Taking it to a JCNA event probably isnt a good idea. The purists will throw Whitworth spanners at it.
