- Sold new in France

- Manual gearbox

- Interesting restoration project

- No reserve


As evidenced by its British Leyland importer’s plate issued for France, this V12 Roadster was sold new in France. Registered on the 10th of May 1973, it is fitted with a desirable manual gearbox. It was in 2001 that the current owners' father (a discerning collector), acquired it after it had been registered in Charente since 1974! He then drove his beautiful roadster regularly, enjoying the smoothness of its V12 engine. He even took part and drove in the Coupe des Alpes in 2006. In dark red colour with a tan leather interior, this Jaguar has not been driven since 2008. The bodywork is in healthy condition, the interior is well preserved and the odometer reads 68,739 km. It will require a restart and a full service before it can hit the road again, well deserved given the appeal of this original French version with a manual gearbox. This barn find represents an exciting project that will appeal to discerning enthusiasts.
