Auction description:

Lot No:

Manufacturer Jaguar

Model MK II

First Registered 1960

Registration No UCO647

Engine No BG6383-8

Chassis No 104572BW

MOT April 2016

Colour Old English White

Guide Price: £8750 to £10250

The vendor states that this car was purchased by his father in April 1964 and he was the second owner. The car comes with a sequence of registration documents, including the original buff document showing this to be the case.

The car is in very original condition and the mileage of 51,900 is though to be correct, though there is no evidence to support this. There is not much service or repair history, as all such work was done by the owner himself. The car had a light restoration in the 1990's and recently had new front springs, shock absorbers, wheel bearings, brake discs and brake pads, fitted at a cost of £1,200.00.

Still wearing its original registration (UCO 647) with the buff logbook and early MOT's

A finalist in the Lancaster Pride of Ownership display at the NEC Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show in 2017

Offered here is a wonderfully original Jaguar Mk2 which would grace any event and make the Goodwood Revival car park a must-do. Most recent mechanical work has included the fitting of new rear springs and bushes together with front suspension, steering bushes, and some fresh brakes. It retains its original spare wheel and complete tool kit, a comprehensive history file and the buff logbook.

The Jaguar was supplied to its first owner on 28th October 1960 probably by Vospers on the south coast where it remained until 2007 and the V5 shows only four owners. The earliest MOT from 1973 shows a mileage of 49,815 miles and the second owner kept the car for nearly twenty year using it very sparingly due to ill health, illustrated by the current odometer indication of 54,000 miles suggesting that the car has only covered just over 4,000 miles in 46 years. Our vendor has enjoyed showing the car and most recently was runner-up at the 2017 NEC Classic Car Restoration show in the Pride of Ownership class, a category where originality is probably the main criterion. The car has attended Wings & Wheels on the JEC stand for the last three years and has been much admired as, although we all enjoy gazing at a millimetre-perfect Concours restoration, real affection is more often reserved for those well used and well-maintained classics that have never had three years off to be torn apart and stuck together again and have lived a long life keeping the secrets of the last fifty years in the crevices of those creaky old leather seats.

Original unrestored sixties saloons are becoming very rare and this lovely Mk2 represents great value offering its new owner a great driving experience and a plethora of events to attend with its best years still ahead.
