This car is the ex-Andrew Whyte (head of Jaguar Public Relations & renowned Jaguar author) coupe that he modified the appearance of. He removed the vinyl roof, the front bumper under-riders and fitted a Series 1 style under bumper grille whilst still employed by Jaguar & then presented the car to Jaguar management as his idea of how all XJ-C models should look. This was rejected by Jaguar, therefore, this car became the only XJ-C to leave Browns Lane without a vinyl roof. The car was originally registered HHP 829N and is featured in Andrew Whyte's book, "Jaguar XK - Forty Years On" on page 95, pictured at his home in his driveway at Ettington.
According to Jaguar records the distributor was Jaguar Cars, it was despatched on 5/6/75 as a press car (HHP 829N), its designation was subsequently changed from XJ6 C to XJ6 4.2 & it went to marketing in 1977. A.W. took the car with him when he left the employ of Jaguar and the car was eventually on-sold & subsequently exported from the U.K. to Australia.
The car today retains all of its original features and is awaiting a full restoration. It is currently owned by a Jaguar enthusiast & collector in Perth, Western Australia.
