Footnotes

This 1979 Jaguar XJ 4.2 was originally supplied new to an owner in Jersey and was imported to the UK in February 1991. In that same year the car received a full respray (in its original green colour) which contrasts beautifully with the cream leather interior. Overall, this is a lovely example and is a very honest time warp car that has a low mileage of just 25,907 miles. The bodywork, paintwork and interior are all in good condition. There is little history with the car which was purchased from Kevin Odlum, and has been in storage since 2010. Its 4.2-litre straight-six is also reported to be running and driving, however the car will be sold with a recommendation for recommissioning prior to active use.
