Car to be at auction 7/07
www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php
Auction description:
Blenheim Palace, Oxford
Saturday 14th July 2007
Lot 432 1967 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre MoD
Registration no: JOW 9HE
Chassis no: 120754DN
Estimate: £4,000-9,000
JOW 911E was first acquired in April 1979 as a first forray into Jaguar ownership, although certainly not the last. In the early 1990's, it pulled out of mothballs and the restoration project began. At this time the best restorations were being carried out by a company called vicarage, so it was decided to visit the factory and see how it was done. Whilest there the vendor was taken for a road test in a Mk. II that had been converted to drophead format which provided the inspiration for the example presented here today. The chassis has been reinforced in no less than twenty structural points with two steel tubes running from front to rear enclosed between the inner and outer sills. The prop shaft tunnel, floor pan and bulkhead have all been reinforced and the front doors have been extended and the pillars moved back 7 inches. The car has been upgraded from its original 2.4 litre engine to a 3.8 litre unit which, as you would expect from such a thorough project, has been completely overhauled. The gearbox, overdrive and axle have been striped repaired and rebuilt as required and the whole braking system, including vacuum tank, servo, callipers and discs, are new. It has been converted to an alternator driven electical system in order to be able to cope with the power demands of a electrically hood. The steering has been converted to XJ6 power rack and pinion. This car is three quarters of the way through the restoration and conversion and although elements are still to be re-attatched, all the components are present and included in the sale price. A modern day take on the classic Mk.II Jaguar and, arguably, all the better for it.

Sale 19286 - Goodwood Festival of Speed, Collectors' Motor Cars, Watches and Automobilia, 1 Jul 2011
Chichester, Goodwood
Lot No: 499
1967 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-Litre Sports
Registration no. JOW 911E
Chassis no. 120754DN
Engine no. LC76888
Sold for £14,375 inclusive of Buyer's Premium
This unusual - possibly unique - Jaguar Mk2 was converted from standard saloon to open-top sports configuration in 2005 by Nutbourne Body Shop of Pulborough, West Sussex while in the previous owner's possession. Before removal of the roof, professionally designed strengthening was incorporated into the lower body structure with full seam welding. New outer sills were fitted, panels leaded wherever necessary, all cavities Waxoyled, and underseal applied. A detailed list of all modifications is available for inspection. At the same time a full mechanical rebuild was carried out, with the engine, manual/overdrive gearbox, propshaft, rear axle, steering, suspension and brakes all receiving attention. The clutch, radiator and shock absorbers are among the many components renewed while sensible improvements include electronic ignition, a high-output alternator, stainless steel exhaust system and a Vicarage power assisted steering conversion. Once again, a full list of work is available. Finished in Old English White with red leather interior, the latter recently re-carpeted, 'JOW 911E' has covered relatively few testing and 'MoT' miles only since completion and is described as in generally very good condition. A guaranteed head-turner wherever it goes, the car comes complete with its original tool box and is offered with current MoT/tax and Swansea V5 document.
