I travelled to an affluent part of town and pulled into an elite neighborhood of mansions. At the last house on a beautiful lane the Jag waited for us. Sitting squarely in the middle of a 2 car garage, the Jag gleamed bright in the spotless abode. We were greeted by perhaps the friendliest individual in the world at that moment, who walked us thru the particulars. The car belonged to his father in law who stopped driving it and handed it down in the age old tradition. The man was very knowledgeable and assured us he had not only driven the 100 miles to home, but was now doing his errands and put putting around in the golf course community. He had been thru all the operating procedures and told us this: in its lifetime, every main working part of the vehicle had been gone thru aside from the drivetrain. Hoses and gaskets had been done recently, the top motor and hydraulics had been replaced, brakes were done, new tires and the list went on. There looks to be 300 pages of receipts and records. All the lights worked, interior and exterior, and the anti lock brake light had been on since the top motor had been re-done. The bottom is spotless and I asked for a flash light to check for leaks. There were none and the garage floor was as dry as a bone. The mans only nit was that the small gaskets that surround the license plate lights had deteriorated and also that two straps holding the top boot down had shrunk. I have had over 400 cars and this is one of the top 3 cleanest ones. After driving it one can only describe the experience as "whooshing". The motor doesn't roar, you just take off in a beautiful slipstream that gets better as you go faster. It is easy to keep on the road and responds very well to any road condition.The top is perfect and every wheel is flawless with no peeling chrome or scraped aluminum. You do not want to get this car dirty in the rain. I doubt it has ever seen inclement weather. We have a very beautiful car here. Upkeep can be a big part of Jaguar ownership and this one had all the preventive maintenance one could imagine, harris.
