AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Jaguar 240 presents a fantastic opportunity with its recent restoration, comprehensive engine overhaul including an unleaded conversion, and an extensive history file documenting 25 years of ownership.

Condition

The car has been restored and resprayed in 2016, with a full engine overhaul, new clutch, radiator, exhaust, and other mechanical components.

This aligns with 'Excellent' condition, requiring only minor cosmetic attention.
