Lot 17: Jaguar MK 2 3.4

One of the most iconic cars of its era, the Mk 2 Jaguar range has long been a cornerstone of the classic car movement, supported by two enthusiastic owners' clubs with enviable spares availability. Still a brisk performer, the Mk 2 is eminently usable and makes an ideal long distance touring car, overdrive versions giving effortless high speed cruising. Dating from 1961, this 3.4 would seem to be in largely original condition having clearly been well kept over the years. Three months after being registered new, the car was exported to Australia by its original owner and has resided there for some thirty years, benefiting from the warm dry climate. Imported back into the UK in 1991, the vehicle was reallocated its original Coventry registration number. Remaining in its original livery of Old English White with red leather trim, the car is said to drive extremely well. The recorded mileage, currently standing at around 64,500, is believed by the vendor to be correct.A very genuine looking example, it is offered for sale with a Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Certificate, V5C document and file of additional documentation, together with a recently renewed MOT certificate. Interestingly, the car has appeared in the TV series, Neighbours and was also featured in the Western Daily Press and The Star. The complete toolkit is also included. During the current ownership of nine years, the motor car has been sparingly used in fine weather, mainly for shows and the occasional wedding, having proved totally reliable.Offered for sale due to bereavement, this Jaguar 3.4 is sure to provide considerable enjoyment to its next owner.
