This 1961 Jaguar MK 2 3.8 Manual is presented in Old English White with Red Leather interior. The vendor states that this car was recently imported from South Africa, when it was recommissioned. It starts on the button and drives very well. The car benefits from refurbished wood dashboard and trims, and it has also had a recent full service, brake overhaul, and resetting of the carburettors. It is said to be in lovely condition with a very sound chassis and floor. The interior is in very good condition with very good leather and wood.

The Jaguar heritage certificate shows that this car was originally UK built and dispatched to Malawi on 25th August 1961. It also shows the car to have started life as a 2.4 manual. Whilst in South Africa it was up-rated to a 3.8 and fitted with an all-syncro gearbox with overdrive. The spare is a new painted wire wheel with the label still on the tyre, while the car is fitted with chrome wire wheels and good tyres all round. It is also fitted with a stainless steel exhaust, and is a very useable classic.
