The car was initially owned as a race car by Allen Lloyd, the well-known Historic racer and Jaguar collector and it remained competitive throughout his ownership prior to being sold on to Phil Bennett and Mike Wilkinson.

The car was prepared by Mike Wilkinson for HTP Inspection and a Technical Passport was granted in 2015. The car remained in this condition until 2018 at which point it was fitted with a straight port head, triple carbs, a fabricated exhaust manifold and efficient exhaust system. This specification falls in line with other Championship Regulations and makes the car highly competitive within the Jaguar Challenge, HRDC, JEC Hawthorn and HSCC.

The HTP papers are dated up to 2025 and conform to the original specification submitted. Necessary items and parts to return to the original specification are available which can be discussed with any prospective purchaser.

The car has proved to be extremely reliable and the only recent failure was due to the fuel tank foam degradation, however, in 2017, the tank was replaced completely. All safety equipment, including seat, belts, and fire systems are in date from 2019.

Should further information be required on setup and specific manufactured items, this can willingly be provided. The vendor is hoping that the future owner has as much pleasure and success as she enjoyed over the years, competing in the Jaguar Classic including Le Mans Classic 2016 (first in class), 2018, Silverstone Classic, Old-timer, Spa 6 hours, Donnington Historic and many more enjoyable races with HRDC.
