3.4 S 1965 in Finland

Post by Norrena »

Hi guys. Here's my S for your viewing pleasure. It is 1965 3.4 S MOD, black with red leather. It was sold new in Tampere Finland in Nov -65 and is now back in Tampere after spending almost 50 years in Helsinki area. It has been repainted in the 80's and previous owner had headlining and carpets replaced. Other than that it is unrestored and nicely patinated. It is fully functional and I use it regularly during summer months.

Thank you for the photos Teppo. It is a very nice looking car and I would not have expected it to look so good coming from a northerly damp/snowy country such as Finland so it has been looked after very well. Your tray is on its way to you.

Beautiful pictures. Nice interior too.
It's a great looking car. Black is beautiful (especially in the snow :))

Nice to see such an original car looking so good, I am really surprised it has last so well without the normal rust area's causing problems, it must have been look after well an cleaned regular underneath perhaps.

Thanks for your nice comments. Yes, my Jag has been well looked after and wax oiled underneath. I believe it has been used in summertime only for most of its life. Although I have to say that the paint isn't quite as good as it looks in the pictures. But I like the patina and I'm keeping it as it is.
