This cherished big cat has been part of the vendor’s family since 2004 and has been regularly maintained by an independent specialist in Hertfordshire known locally has Sam Jaguar who worked for Jaguar racing and is currently in a similar role for McLaren. The current speedometer reading is 71,000 however the vendor understands that the speedo was changed prior to his late father’s ownership and the true mileage is circa 100,000.

The car, throughout the last 15 years, was not the vendor’s father’s every day drive and was kept in a dry brick constructed garage and it’s general condition reflects this. Research indicates that less than 1000 of the straight six version of this car were made and that fewer than 100 still exist. To add to this rarity is the unusual headlight configuration. The vendor’s enquiries indicate that this particular vehicle was originally designed for export to the USA and the headlight adaption was required to conform with that country’s legislation. However the cars never made it across the pond and were put on sale in the UK.

The targa roof is in good condition for its age and has benefited from an element of refurbishment in recent years.

C372JAT would make a great first classic or an ideal basis for an enthusiast looking for an opportunity to do a full restoration. The next MOT is due in July 2020 and it has recently had 2 new tyres, a new battery, work to the body as well as having the windscreen removed and resealed. Comes with a relatively comprehensive service history since 2004 with old MOTs.
