BEAUTIFUL UNMARKED ORIGINAL CONDITION
Whilst still under the manufacturer’s Warranty
Bought by my brother in law, the late Mr. G. Foxley, ( Northern Film Products ).
He kept the car all the time in the heated and ventilated garage,
which formed part of his house in Holmfield Avenue Cleveleys.
The car was serviced by my Preston R-R Dealership and Rolls-Royce at Crewe.
Later it was looked after by Mr. Luff at the Preston Jaguar Centre,
Mr. Luff had been the R-R Service manager.
During his ownership Mr. Foxley added only about 2 – 3,000 miles each year.
He died some 2 years ago. I bought the car from his estate knowing it’s provenance.
The family has managed to find some of the car history but not all, which is available.
The car has never been in any accidents and has never given any trouble.
It is in excellent condition and runs remarkably well.
