This car was driven and well maintained until July of 2006. when the car was completely disassembled for a complete and professional ground-up restoration by Jaguar specaialists "More Than Just Cars" of Upland. California. The car's original color of Willow Green was changed to the current handsome Dark Blue. with superb body and paintwork. The car's mechanicals were rebuilt which included a complete engine rebuild with boring and new pistons. and all other new parts installed.

European enclosed headlamp kit to Series One specification. along with the upgrade of an original 4. 2 Liter triple HD-8 carburetor setup with manifold.  
This car was a JCNA Concours winner in 2007 and was first in the SO3 class. nationally. It again scored a robust 99. 48 points in JCNA in September of 2016. All of the scoring sheets accompany the sale of the car.
