'BOF 421 T' hails from 1979 and is rare in being one of just 385 V12 examples of the breed produced with manual transmission. It has remained within the current ownership since 1991, and since 2017 has been the subject of major restoration work on the floor pan, subframe, brakes, steering, suspension etc, the bills for which have totalled £17,700. The vendor now considers the bodywork, paintwork, V12 engine and manual transmission to all be in 'average' condition and the interior trim to be 'poor', and that therefore cosmetic work is required to return the Jaguar to its former glory. Featuring Black bodywork and upholstery, the car is now offered at No Reserve, complete with bills for the tasks already completed, plus older invoices and MOTs dating back to the 1980s. A potentially very rewarding challenge for the right Jaguar enthusiast, bearing in mind the increasing interest in these fine GT models.
