This superb Jaguar was manufactured in September 1971 in Coventry, ordered through distributor Rothwell & Milbourne, Malvern, Worcestershire for the first owners personal export to South Africa. The earliest known South African history dates from 1992 when the car underwent a major 2-year restoration by ‘XK Restorations’ Knysna. This included a full body respray, interior trim update, suspension and braking overhaul and the fitment of chrome-wire wheels and replacement hubs. The car appears not to have been used for some years due to owners’ ill health, eventually the car was purchased by ‘Frost Brothers’, of Knysna in 2002.
Our vendor purchased the vehicle from Frost Brothers upon completion of his work assignment in SA, the car being returned to the UK in January 2003. First UK MOT completed at this time with a recorded mileage of 47721 kilometres (29652 miles). In 2006 paintwork was damaged by the accidental dropping of super glue on to a rear quarter panel, this proved impossible to remove so insurers agreed for the damaged area to be resprayed. The coachworks found it impossible to match the paint which necessitated a major respray using 2-pack paint. The car has been pampered since its return to the UK and mileage has been kept low. Unfortunately, the 5343cc engine developed poor starting and was sent to a local specialist classic car garage to investigate. This eventually resulted in a full engine strip-down and rebuild with invoices totalling around £20000, invoices on file.
This Jaguar can only be described as being in near perfect condition and is showing only 53369 kilometres (33162 miles) at time of inspection which appears commensurate with the car’s history and condition.
