This Jaguar was used sparingly over the past few years so we had to go through the car and invested close to $20,000 into the car to make it an excellent higher end driver to be enjoyed. As a result this car runs, drives, shifts and stops excellent. Furthermore, it shows extremely well as the car is in stunning overall condition.
