[Milkyway]

Wonder how much this would raise... & then be worth to the lucky recipient.

I assume it's the Sovereign trim level?

At least it's a 3.0 Estate, which are actually pretty good. They're quite cramped though, unless you're a corgi.

A bit of forward thinking perhaps by Mr Evans & it will probably end up in a museum somewhere...eventually.
(To answer my own question, value wise... approx £40K then)

Wonder if Jaguar was aware of the first buyer's identity? I mean, had they known it was destined for HM, you'd have thought they would have tried a bit harder to ensure the steering wheel wood's colour was the same as the other walnut trim?

Even the Queen doesn't 'own' her cars!


Also amusing that Jaguar Heritage Trust certificates think it's a saloon. I'd want my £60 back!

Not really a 'sportscar' though is it? Mondeo in a frock!
