On purchasing the car I started to trace back the history.

I found the car had belonged to a Jaguar Car Club member in Reno.  I managed to track down Gerrard and he gave me a load of information about the car.  He started a complete restoration but it became too much for hime when combined with his other projects.

Gerrard sent me pictures of some of the work he had done.  Gerrard worked to a high standard cutting out all the rust and using spot welds where necessary etc..

The car was then purchased by The Beverly Hills Car Club who advertised it on their website and I was able to get some shots of before it came to England.
