HISTORY:
Purchaed new from Taggarts Jaguar in Glasgow by Sir Matthew Goodwin, founder of Hewdon Stuart PLC. Sir Matthew was one of Scotland's most prominent businessmen who grew his company into the UKs largest plant and crane hire business. He retired in 1995 so this car was probably a gift to himself despite him being known for not 'indulging in luxury or corporate swank'. Car remained in Scotland till recently having being more latterly owned by the proprietor of a former Jaguar Main Dealer. Car was a regular at Jaguar Drivers Club Scotland events.
