Key Facts

VEHICLE OVERVIEW

2214RD is a very special car that we have been directly involved with for 20 years. Our relationship started back in 2002 when we purchased the car as a ground-up restoration project. The original buff logbook was supplied with the car upon purchase. It took thousands of man hours to achieve the finished result that you see today, completely restored to perfection and presented in its original livery of Opalescent Graphite with red leather interior.

A Heritage Certificate further confirming originality of the chassis and engine and being the 74th RHD flat-floor model built by Jaguar, Coventry. During the restoration we opted to install the later fitted foot wells, making the car a more comfortable and useable ‘everyday’ car.

In 2012 a deal was struck at the Goodwood Revival with a Swiss client who opted for the car to be converted to left hand drive. Once completed by our engineers, the car was shipped to Switzerland where it resided for a further two years. A change in the client’s circumstances enabled us to buy the car back in 2015. 

Remaining with us since this time, it’s been carefully stored and used sparingly on dry days. The time has now come to let the car go to a new home and be enjoyed by its next owner.
