Finished in the stylish and timeless colour scheme of Red with tan leather interior, this charming if not concours example of Jaguars' big V12 roadster comes with chrome wire wheels, its original automatic gearbox as well as a host of bills from Marcus Barclay Jaguar Specialists of Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, documenting the cars maintenance throughout its current ownership from 1995. Imported from the USA in 1991, JRO 343K benefits from having been expertly converted from Coupe to Roadster form, and to right hand drive specification for UK motoring. Bodily and structurally this car is in first-rate order. Cosmetically the original interior is beginning to show signs of the cars age and as such the car is priced accordingly.

With price expectation on many British sports cars pushing honest and usable classics out of reach of the masses, this Jaguar is sensibly priced to ensure a new owner can enjoy many more years of grand touring from the comfortable cockpit of a desirable sports roadster. If this is your first foray into classic car ownership, you won't be disappointed. Offered with fresh MoT test certificate and UK V5C, subject to insurance, this charming 70's icon can be driven away from the sale...
