Sale 15345 - 'Summer Vintage' at the Beaulieu Autojumble - Collectors' Motor Cars, Motorcycles and Automobilia, 8 Sep 2007
National Motor Museum, Hampshire

Lot No: 760
1963 Jaguar MkII 3.4 Automatic Saloon
Registration no. 146 FJJ
Chassis no. 161776BW
Engine no. KH65138
Estimate: £15,000 - 17,000

Produced at the Browns Lane factory in 1963, this home market MkII Saloon with legendary 3.4-litre XK 6-cylinder engine, variable-type power-assisted steering and Borg Warner 3-speed automatic transmission, was first registered for the road on the 14th of March of that year. Changes from standard specification include chrome wire wheels and Reutter reclining front seats with picnic tables in wood on the backs of both. An added steering lock and the radio would also appear to be period items. We are advised that the 4-door bodywork has been in recent receipt of a bare metal repaint in Jaguar Racing Green. Particularly pleasing inside is the tan leather, which is likely to be original and is remarkably good order. The wood veneers have benefited from some re-finishing and the headlining, fur-flex and carpets have been renewed.

Various invoices from Jaguar parts specialists give details of many items purchased for the most recent refurbishment work carried out during the last two years by a previous owner. Among recent servicing, the automatic transmission fluid has been renewed, while the exhaust is in stainless steel. Chassis and engine numbers as well as the 146 FJJ registration are all confirmed by a V5C, while current Historic Vehicle Tax Disc and 17 May 2007 dated MOT Test Certificate at 87,038 miles will both be valid until 2008. The 89,173 mileage displayed when catalogued is most probably the genuine total from new for a well presented example of a relatively early MkII, which, with auto-shift, is best equipped to provide a stress-free and labour-saving driving experience in modern traffic.

Lot Notice
We are advised the following fire damage, the car was written off by insurers in 1994 since when it has been restored and returned to the road.

Subject to a restoration in 2006 taking some two years to complete, the engine was also converted to run on unleaded fuel at that time. Benefitting from power steering and automatic transmission, this Jaguar is finished in British racing green with a contrasting tan leather interior. Sitting proudly on chrome wire wheels, the car is described by the vendor as being "a delight" to drive and comes supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until Sep

Sellers description:
Manufactured in November 1962 and despatched to Jaguar dealer Henlys in London, this beautiful 3.4 Automatic was first registered in March 1963 and is finished in its original colour of British Racing Green with a Tan leather interior, brown carpets, period seat Belts Stereo/CD player, 3.4 litre S6 'Unleaded' Engine, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering and Chrome Wire Wheels.
This car had just been completely rebuilt by the previous owner over a two year period between 2006/7 when I bought it in May 2008. There are photograph's of this rebuild which also included an Engine rebuild plus many other new ancillaries and re-chromed bumpers.
It has had a new wiring loom since I bought the car and it has now covered less than 3,000 miles since the rebuild and a believed genuine 97,500 miles from new.
It is in lovely condition throughout, although not concours and it drives beautifully.
