Other work which could improve the car further?
The headlining is pinned up. It’s not hanging down, and looks tidy overall, but ideally it could be replaced.
The boot lock doesn’t work on the central locking, so it has to be locked manually on the key. So in summary, a rare and beautiful early XJ40, in top spec, in great overall condition, rare colour and very low mileage, great history, with a long MOT, ready to drive away. What more could you want?

Any questions, please ask, though I have tried to cover as much useful information as possible/ most of what any buyer would want to know. But it’s impossible to say absolutely everything about a car. Hence the info here should give you enough information to decide to come and view the car yourself, and check you are happy with it. The nearest rail station is Boston, and I can collect you from there if you wish to travel by rail.
