A thorough concours-level restoration was completed by a well-regarded Jaguar specialist within roughly three years before the sale. Every part was either fully replaced or rebuilt, with equal attention given to interior and exterior finish in black over tan Connolly leather.
Restoration also incorporated several drivability-oriented modifications: the rear axle ratio was altered from 3.54 to 3.23, four-piston calipers were fitted to the front brakes, and a stainless steel exhaust system was installed.
