It left the factory in 1952 and was sent to Los Angeles to the famous Car To The Stars garage, Hornburg Jaguar, Sunset Boulevard. In 1989 the car was discovered in the USA by Michael Erroll, a long-time Jaguar enthusiast and Chairman of the Surrey Vintage Vehicle Society for 20 years (hence the private reg VVS245 which is still on the car). The vehicle was repatriated back to the UK in 1989 whereupon it received a ground up restoration body off the chassis, bare metal re-paint and retrim from 1989-1993 restoration cost circa £42000 at that time. There is a full photographic record with the car.
