    This car has an original factory fitted 4-speed manual, although has 'BW' on the chassis number.

    It would be interesting to know how many if any of the 26 built prior to yours
    None are recorded at Jaguar Heritage
    As you have so much information on yours I suspect you have a Heritage Certificate
    from Anders

    Hi Jim
    The data plate shown is correct for the car as it was built/
    in early 1975
    the first V12 Man was not produced & despatched from the factory untill 21st August 1975
    2W 1130--Body number 5W 1404
    Gear box number KM 1010 all manual gearbox's start KM
    would be interesting to know the Gear box number of yours
    Having just created the V12 Man Data Base we now know 385 were built & not 352

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
