Sale Date: 31st October 2012
Lot Number: 21
1964 Jaguar MK II 3.4 Litre
Not Sold

Reg Number: 84 GDA
Chassis Number: 166553DN
Engine Number: KJ37348
Cc: 3442
Body Colour: Cream
Trim Colour: Red
MOT ExpiryDate: April 2013

This nicely-presented MKII 3.4 features manual/overdrive transmission and is finished in the classic combination of Old English White with Red leather upholstery. It has had just four owners to date, the third one of which retained the Jaguar from 1985 to 2003. The saloon has reportedly been well maintained over the years, with supporting invoices dating back to 1987. '84 GDA' has evidently never required a full restoration and is understood to remain remarkably original apart from such desirable upgrades as: a stainless steel exhaust system, Moto-Lita steering wheel, Kenlowe fan, Ace wheel rim embellishers, battery condition meter, hazard warning lights and Coombs-style louvred bonnet (the original engine cover comes with the car). The MKII is offered for sale with a tool box, full file of documents and MOT valid into April 2013. The indicated mileage is c.101,100.

PLEASE NOTE: The bonnet currently fitted to this vehicle is not a Coombs as stated in the catalogue description, but a non standard vented bonnet and the original is available by separate negotiation.

Auction description:
Registration Date 1964
Make & Model Jaguar MkII 3.4 Manual Overdrive
Colour Old English White
Registration Number 84 GDA
Chassis No. 166553DN
Engine size 3,442 cc
Engine No. KJ3734-8
Documents V5C; old style V5; MOT June 2018 with no advisories; 29 old MOTs; many invoices; handbook
Estimate £17,000 - £19,000

First registered in Wolverhampton in April 1964, this MkII has had just four owners from new, the vendor acquiring it 15 years ago from a gentleman who had owned it for 18 years (1985 - 2003). A document on file states that the engine was reconditioned at Jaguar's Browns Lane factory in the late 1970s when the bodywork was also tidied up and repainted plus much other work to "bring it up to concours standard".

It was then used only sparingly, some 29 old MOTs showing that it has only covered around 20,000 miles since 1981 with a documented speedo change in 1996. The lovely red leather interior appears largely original and nicely mellowed while the chrome and the Old English White paintwork still look very smart indeed, testament to the quality of the earlier restoration.

During his long ownership the vendor has looked after the car well with a large file of invoices to show regular upkeep. This has included fitting a stainless steel exhaust, Mota-Lita steering wheel, heated rear windscreen and Spax adjustable shock absorbers all round. Last year it had a brake overhaul, new condenser and battery and the carbs were balanced. The previous owner had fitted ACE wheel trims, hazard warning lights, Kenlowe fan, a battery condition gauge and a louvred bonnet with twin air vents but the original bonnet is also included if preferred.

Starting promptly and running nicely as we moved it around for these photos, it has an MOT until June 2018 with no advisories recorded. It also retains the original tool kit, handbook and transferable number plate, 84 GDA, which no doubt has a value of its own. A quantity of MkII spares and factory manuals amassed by the vendor over the years are also available by separate negotiation if desired.
