Decidedly British, Wilton carpeting, and a sporty 4-Liter V8, this car uses some of the iconic Jag race car designs with shades of the XKE in its curved body lines and low profile.
Exterior With its rounded aerodynamic looks and a front oval grille that harkens back to the E-types, it now sports integrated head and taillights, and front bumper inserted running lights.
Body panels are all straight and bathed in Cabernet Pearl Metallic paint from the deep end of the pool.
All is in scratch free and shiny condition.
A tan canvas convertible top moves up and down smoothly and presents as near perfect.

Aluminum wheels emblazoned with the grinner are on all 4 corners.
Also on the sides is a green oval with the leaper badge.
Interior Gorgeous Parchment (tan) Connolly leather in ultra-fine condition adorns the interior seating consisting of front buckets and a very tight 2 plus 2 rear bench.
Fronting these is a burl dash, which has plenty of knobs and dials including climate controls, an AM/FM/Cassette/CD, cruise control, power seats with 3 memory positions, power mirrors, power windows and power locks.
A console mounted shift lever has the option to shift manually or just keep it in automatic and a sport mode with a push of a toggle switch.
Dark tan/light brown Wilton carpeting for the floors and noted is the power convertible top is in good condition interior wise.

Independent coil springs for all the suspension, and power disc brakes are inserted on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability An easy starter, and smooth idle with some warmup time prior to embarking for the test track.
Here it handled it splendidly, with smooth seemingly unlimited acceleration, easy shifting, and bias free braking.
I put the top down for my cruise, and had a thoroughly enjoyable tool throughout the Classic Auto Mall countryside.
