I purchased this car in March 2005 from Twyford Moors - England ( Registration 236 PF )
Subsequent work on the car included a new diaphragm clutch / master and slave cylinders plus new front wings.
I would be interested to know where the original engine is.

Registration Number 236 PF

Engine Number V6045-8

ODOMETER READING 80395 Miles

GUIDE PRICE: £40,000 - £50,000

A very capable touring machine, restored and enhanced to 'S' specification, maintained by XK specialists, and routinely driven to the Le Mans Classic.

Our vendor acquired the car some 18 years ago (in 2005), during which time it has further benefitted from extensive work by XK specialists (notably Marcus Barclay of Buckinghamshire) to keep it in tip-top condition. We understand that he has invested around £25,000 during his ownership on its upkeep and servicing, supported by paperwork and invoices in the car's history file. Improvements include bodywork maintenance, electronic ignition, a header tank, inertia seatbelts, an alternator, stainless-steel exhaust, a Kenlowe fan and halogen headlights. The car has featured at The Hurlingham Club's ‘Salon Privé’, regularly attended the Le Mans Classic and, in more recent times, the Spa Classic – trips its does with ease, with occupants travelling long distances in complete comfort and with style and reliability – the brief of any high-performance Jaguar sportscar.

This venerable XK is in need of very little and starts and drives very well with good oil pressure and efficient cooling. It's offered to auction following a long and conscientious ownership period, where it was much-loved. Eminently driveable, this is a really lovely example of a timeless design with a desirable modern specification all tucked away inside the outstanding profile of this classic Jaguar roadster.

Sold for: £46,125
