- Good build quality
- Advantage of modern technology
- A untouched classic design

The Jaguar that we are offering is not a really one anymore. It has been completely revised and updated by the English specialist Vicarage, who delivered the car to its first owner, a German enthusiast. Vicarage is a British firm still in business which offers Jaguars that have been completely redesigned with modern features, in the mechanical parts or the comfort of its occupants. Like the car on sale, they could be equipped with modern air-conditioning, power steering, power windows, more modern and reliable mechanicals, a sunroof, a hi-fi CD player, central locking and more comfortable and electrically adjustable seats from the XJ. The interior of the MKII on sale is covered in splendid blue leather, with white piping. This is a classic car, but without the typical annoyances and equipped with modern comforts. Even if we will have purists protest, there is no denying that the Vicarage car offers a very satisfying daily usability. The car on offer is a perfect example.

Please note that contrary to the paper catalog, the car is registered in the Netherlands.
