Auction description:

Charterhouse Auctioneers

Estimate £5,000 - £6,000

Circa 1968 Jaguar 240 automatic

Registration number XLU 409G

Brooklands green with a moss green interior

The owner started the restoration some time ago

He has replaced the front and rear callipers

The fuel tank has been re-lined and is ready to re-fit

It was last run 3-4 years ago

No documents

Ideal as a project car

No V5C

DVLA does not recognise the registration number

no exhaust system

From the owner: The main radiator was cleaned and flow tested by Arrow radiators, also the fuel tank was cleaned and coated inside and out. The front callipers were uprated with new callipers and pads from Zeus engineering in Devon, also the rear callipers pots replaced , it also has an uprated brake servo from S@G Barrett.

There is a brand new water pump and coolant hose kit. So basically it is a started project which requires some time to finish and re commission. The engine does run

and turns over freely and the auto box drives strong.

The exhaust needs replacing and some of the offside front crows foot on the chassis requires weldin, however the main floor and chassis is strong.

Sent info to Dvla but they returned saying they no longer held records of the car on the database and required chassis number etc to re establish its registration on the database. I never proceeded with this as the car was under restoration
