That's pretty cool. I wonder what the 5% was that he had to scrounge up.

Yeah that was my question to. That 5% could really make or break the car.

i doubt that. look at pebble beach entries - i bet few of them are 95% or better.

even the Dunlop tires were original and in perfect, new condition.

i have doubts about that, too. i would guess that the battery, belts, hoses and tires would degrade, even if they were kept properly.

If he's that much of a Jag fanatic, you can bet that he isn't using any crap components.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

He probably had to buy the other 5% as NOS since it says it's 100% original.

Lovely lovely car. One I hope to have in my stable one day...mine will be a convertible though.
