Lot 38: Jaguar MK 2 3.4

Very much a car of its time, the Jaguar Mk 2 was to symbolise the 'swinging sixties' with its glamorous image and was beloved of both heroes and villains.� Any schoolboy enthusiast worth his salt could recognise a 'Jag' by its soundtrack long before it came into view, especially the early models with their distinctive whine from the Moss gearbox when accelerating away.� With support from two major clubs and excellent spares availability, the Jaguar Mk 2 is a delight to own, especially when in really good condition.Acquired by its vendor 35 years ago, this Mk 2 3.4 is a 1961 model and was first registered in Kent.� Finished in Cotswold Blue with grey leather trim, this motor car has been the subject of a most exacting restoration which was undertaken between 1996 and 2000.� Details of work undertaken are too exhaustive to list here so we would suggest that interested parties ask to view the comprehensive file that is supplied.�Prior to commencement of the restoration, the car had been off the road since 1981 in store and we understand that during this ownership only around 8,000 miles have in fact been covered.� Beautifully presented in every respect and sitting on chrome wire wheels, the motor car has won various awards during the past few years as well as featuring on the cover of Jaguar Enthusiast magazine in December 2003 and also in the brochure for Race Glaze polishes.� Fitted with manual transmission with overdrive and benefiting from uprated brakes, this fine Mk 2 is certain to attract considerable interest.
