This example was supplied new by Appleyard Jaguar Leeds, to Yorkshire Bank PLC as what can only be presumed as a director's car, on August 1st 1983. Originally registered A240 JWU, it would have been among the first prefix letter cars on the road. Finished exquisitely in Cranberry metallic red over a Biscuit leather interior with walnut trim, it is clear this car has been well cared for and it remains highly original. Covering most of it's mileage under the Bank's custodianship up until the mid 1990's, it is understood from the service and MOT history to have only covered c.12,000 miles in 33 years and has a warranted c.72,500 miles on the odometer. Bidders are invited to inspect the plethora of photos of the vehicle to get an idea of it's condition. The headlining has been replaced within the last c.10 years and a major service was carried out in 2024 at a cost of over £500 including engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, brake fluid and power steering fluid. The history file includes a book pack with service history, radio booklet and owner's manual along with period brochures, old MOT's, extensive parts lists/catalogues, Haynes manual, JDHT certificate and sundry invoices.
