Jaguar Series III V12 Vanden Plas, a true story!

The other day, a dear customer reached out to tell us a very special story...

"I wanted to share a quick story as I have heard of your reputation for running a business with a warm, family feel and thought that you may be interested. My father bought a new Jaguar Series III V12 Vanden Plas from Decarie Motors on Jan 10, 1992 right before you moved to your current location. It was his absolute pride and joy and he cared for it and kept only a handful of kilometers on it with the thought of passing it onto me one day. Sadly, he passed in 2014, and I moved back to Montreal. I was so occupied that I did not attend to the car which was covered and garaged at my mother's home.

Well, finally I decided to bring her back to running condition and brought it to Mike Goffredo in service to entrust the work to Ian the technician. The car is on its way back to life and with it thoughts of drives with my father and all of the great things he had said of your dealership. Mike even told me last week that a technician named Gigi recognized the car and remembered working on it when my father was still with us. Funny how things come full circle."
