“When a truly rare car comes to auction which has also been tucked away and off the market for decades it creates an unmissable opportunity for collectors,” explains Tristan Judge, director, The Market.

“This car’s story makes it even more interesting and appealing to buyers. With the current owner having spent some 50 years tinkering, now the opportunity exists to take-over and finish the existing project or begin a new restoration to return this classic to its former glory.”

A Jaguar Heritage certificate comes with the car, confirming it was manufactured on 16th March 1954 and was sold by Byatts of Fenton. Stoke-on-Trent. It originally had a grey leather interior, and was finished in Birch Grey.
