First registered in December 1968 to a Mr. Peel of Epping, Essex, this beautifully presented automatic 240 Mk. II Jaguar has been subject to a comprehensive restoration and thus is in fine fettle for this summer and many more to come. Presented in deep blue with re-trimmed contrasting blood-red coachwork and all new wood dash, this example is also accompanied by a comprehensive history file. Having recently had a mechanical overhaul including new ball joints, brake hoses and vacuum valve alongside a service in late 2015, this Jaguar was used as a wedding car by the previous owner and he assures us, not only did the groom arrive to the church on time, he got there in style. With an MoT certificate valid until April 2017, this is clearly a vehicle that has been lovingly owned and restored. A fantastically well-kept Mk. II, we would certainly recommend viewing especially at this attractive estimate.
