Car Condition: Show Driver Level
This 1967 Jaguar Mark II 3.8 Sedan is a wonderful car that has recently completed a comprehensive restoration by Classic Showcase to a Show/Driver level, no expense being spared. We restored this vehicle for the original owner and there were no prior restorations. The owner knew about every mark and scratch on the vehicle. A DVD of the restoration process to Show/Driver will accompany the vehicle. It has very few miles driven since restoration. This is a matching numbers vehicle. Everything that came with the car when it was new is included.

One private owner from new, concours restoration
1967 Jaguar 340 Sports Saloon
Chassis no. 1J80048DN
Engine no. 7J503178
Having lived in Southern California all of its life, this was a matching numbers, rust-free example with original California black plates when restored to show/driver standard by marque specialists, this work being fully documented and with no expense spared. It has its original 4 speed with overdrive. The Jaguar was stripped back to bare metal and was ground up restored. The metalwork finished and leaded. The body was fitted, then prepared for primer, sealer, base and clear coats of paint in its original color combination, color sanded and buffed to a fabulous finish. A new windshield and door glass were fitted and the chrome re-plated. Mechanically the car has been completely gone through, with the engine, gearbox and the rear suspension was rebuilt. All other systems, including the electrics, hydraulics, cooling and fuel have all been either restored or replaced, with all new rubbers and a new wiring loom. The car has also received a new correct exhaust system, new battery, the gas tank has been epoxy sealed and the radiator has been restored. A new interior in the correct factory materials was fitted and the Jaguar has traveled less than 100 test miles since the restoration. Ready to show or drive, the car is accompanied by a DVD of the restoration process. It also includes all the receipts of the ownership history and its original jack, knock off hammer, and tools. There is probably not a better one for sale in the world today.
