GarageScout Take
Factory-documented black, black-soft-top, and red-leather configuration, with the gearbox rebuilt during the restoration and more than 300 process photos documenting the work. The reset odometer, “Exempt” title brand, and 1954 model-year entry mean the displayed nine miles describe the restoration, not the car’s accumulated use.
Strengths
- Factory black with a black soft top over red leather, confirmed by the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
- Documented 1953 manufacture date and initial delivery through Hornburg in Los Angeles.
- Restoration by Muncie Imports and Classics included a rebuilt gearbox and a photo record of the work.
- Supplied with Jaguar Heritage Trust documentation, manuals, and a tool roll.
Watch For
- The Indiana title lists the car as a 1954 model and carries an “Exempt” odometer brand.
- The five-digit odometer was reset after the restoration and now shows 9 miles.
- The restoration involved stripping, disassembly, repainting, and refurbishment, so the car is not presented as untouched original.
