Registration: KFE 29G
Chassis Number: 1R1201

Year of Manufacture: 1969
Estimate (£): 50,000 - 60,000

A letter from Jaguar Cars Ltd. in the history file confirms that this car was a UK right hand drive model supplied on 25-6-1969 to London dealer, Henlys, finished in Primrose Yellow with a black hood and black trim.

Our vendor, who has owned the car since 1990, has no early history on the car. However, the history file confirms that it was re-imported back to the UK from Alberta, Canada in August 1990 - still as a right hand drive car but now finished in Red. The car has had very limited use between the purchase date and the present day, all the previous MOT cerificates are present and show annual mileage increases of no more than a few hundred during her entire ownership.

The Imperial Motor Company of Dewsbury, West Yorks carried out a comprehensive rebuild and restoration in 2001 costing some £9,397 at the time and since then the annual mileage increases suggest the car has hardly been used at all other than to and from the MOT station!

Ripe for a restoration, this 58,700 mile car is matching numbers from new and offers an excellent investment opportunity for a collector/enthusiast to drive/enjoy and perhaps return to that original period colour of Primrose Yellow? The car will have a new MOT in time for the sale.

The next lady owner kept the car from 1991-2015 covering only 3688 miles during this 24-year period; the mileage now shows 60,100 miles, which is believed to be correct.

During the past 12 months a further c.£9,000 has been lavished on the car with marque specialists including a full service, new engine and gearbox mounts, new front shock absorbers, new wire wheels and tyres, new stainless exhaust, new mohair hood and foot-well carpets.
