Jaguar MK2...HOW much?

[geeman237]

I just saw this Jaguar MK2 advertised for £275,000. I had to look twice. I'm no MK2 expert, but reading the blurb it seems this is a bit of a special MK2 with some provenance, but is it worth THAT much more than a 'regular' show condition example?

A look through the photos reveals lots of patina kept on the car, some pitted chromework, torn leather gearstick gaiter. But surely for that price they'd stick on a set of NEW period type tyres. There's one photo of the front left tyre it looks to be riddled with cracks.
