The instru-ment panel is tastefully done in walnut,the instruments and controls are finelyfinished, the upholstery shouts that it’sleather, the engine is a polished work ofart, the trunk compartment is finished inthe same high quality, tho of differentand less expensive materials.Other reasons you might want a 2.4would be its sensible size (107%-inchwheelbase, 15 feet overall length), thatallows extreme maneuverability in town,and its XK-like road-holding ability thatstamps it as a good touring car.The "Special Equipment” model (de-luxe version selling for S3795) we bor-rowed from West Coast Jaguar distributorChuck Hornburg had just been pulled outof the press showing and therefore hadtoo little mileage to allow us to get per-formance figures.
