Despite that actuality, the Jaguar is surprisingly sound.<\/p>\n<p>One of 863 RHD 4.2 Roadsters made prior to the introduction of the Series 1.5, the Jaguar comes with a factory hardtop as well as a standard soft top, and appears to be basically complete \u2014 the engine turns freely and the aged tires still hold air.<\/p>\n<p>The second car is a red with black trim 1933 Singer 2-Litre Fox &amp; Nicholl Team Car Evocation, that was discovered by the vendor in a hedge some 46 years ago as a rolling chassis, and has since been restored to resemble the Fox &amp; Nicholl Team Car that took 7th overall during the 1934 24 Hours of Le Mans. It has been beautifully restored with \u201cno expense spared,\u201d and carries an MOT that expires in June 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The seller of the Singer is a marque enthusiast who did much of the restoration work himself, although, he outsourced the specialist machining jobs such as overhauling the engine.
