Dating from May 1990, this particular car is a very special example indeed. It has only covered some 29,500 miles from new in the hands of just three owners, the last of whom owned it from 1995 until his death a few months ago.

Looking superb in rare Jade Green with a light beige hide interior, it has a comprehensive service history comprising 10 stamps to date, the first 8 at Jaguar main dealers and the last less than 100 miles ago in September 2012. Riding on a matching set of recent Pirelli P600 tyres, it also has a period Motorola mobile phone fitted, now a collector's item in its own right.

The car is said to drive beautifully and certainly performed well when we were invited for a test drive, feeling as tight as you would expect for such a low mileage although the front left shock absorber may need examining as it rattled somewhat on bumpy surfaces.

Supplied with all its original handbooks in the original Jaguar wallet, it also has various invoices for service items and 10 old MOTs back to 1994 to further verify the mileage. As good an example as we have ever encountered, it could make a worthy concours contender with some minor detailing here and there and is sure to be of interest to any Jaguar collector.
