The Interior

The Celebration’s interior is clearly on show, with wooden trims and contrasting cream leather interior making a fabulous contrast to the dark blue paintwork 

Each aspect of the interior is in very good condition, with wood trim on dash, door tops and centre console replaced 

We’re informed that all console features are operating correctly, including the modern Kenwood radio (which has CD and DAB functionality as well as hands free mobile function with microphone fitted in dashboard) original air conditioning, electric hood and interior lights

Some slight fraying to the veneer at the top of the steering wheel, but barely noticeable until close inspection 

Seats have very minor wear, as do the carpets, commensurate with the car’s low mileage

Boot is in fine order, with clean carpets throughout and spare wheel

The Exterior 

Finished in blue with twin-painted coachlines

Vehicle is largely in original condition

Minor blemishes and scratches to paintwork in some locations, but far from detracting from the vehicle

Some scratches and pebble marks towards the bottom of panels

Slight signs of paint loss and very minor corrosion to the internal base of the doors

Slight scratches to hood and boot door

Occasional very small paint chips, barely visible from the overall view of the vehicle

Minor signs of corrosion to underside with no reported structural defects

No obvious faults in the chrome work, with badges and branding all clearly on display

Panel gaps tight and consistent

Convertible hood replaced in 2014 and in good condition, with no rips or tears

When lowering the soft top the roof bar need to be held slightly to stop it touching the top of back seats

Desirable 16'' Lattice alloys

Good set of tyres with plenty of tread

The Mechanics 

The AJ16 engine is often regarded as one of Jaguar’s finest for reliability

New handbrake and gearbox fitted in 2017

Parking brake light stays on due to a minor electrical fault

Central locking is slightly stiff but still functions as expected

Engine bay is clean and well-kept

Owner informs us there are no faults with the engine and that regular mechanical care has kept it in good working order
