Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A left-hand-drive SE Roadster, cherished by a single California family for over 58 years and restored in 2013 with tasteful touring upgrades like a five-speed gearbox and Wilwood brakes. It retains its matching-numbers engine and comes with valuable documentation, making it a well-preserved example of a classic Jaguar.
Condition
8
The car has been restored and sympathetically upgraded, indicating good overall condition.
