This iconic Jaguar model has been in its enthusiast owner’s possession since February 1980. Presenting well in grey paintwork with a grey leather interior, this Jaguar Mk. II was originally registered in May 1965 and has been well cared for. The vendor informs us that he has recently rebuilt the engine, fitting new pistons, timing chain and clutch. He also tells us that this Jaguar is fitted with power steering, upgraded front brake calipers, upgraded servo, an electric fan and is a joy to drive. The front seats have been retrimmed and the back seats would benefit from some attention. Presented to auction with a file containing various bills and receipts, previous MoT test certificates and a V5C registration document, this MoT exempt Jaguar is offered without reserve.
