September Micro-Auction: 02 Sep 2020 - 1960 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Manual

Auction: 7:00pm, 02 September 2020 at Online

1960 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Manual

Guide Price: £25,000 to £30,000

Sold: £27,500

Manufacturer: Jaguar

First Registered: 1960

Model: MK II 3.8 Manual

Registration No: 910 NMY

Mileometer: 

Chassis No: 201608DN

MOT: Not Required

Colour: Blue

This 1960 Jaguar MK2 3.8 Manual is an early example with the desirable recessed sun visors, pendant throttle pedal and smooth matt black centre dash section. The heritage certificate shows the car being UK built and then sent to South Africa direct from the factory. The car was originally painted in Cornish Grey and was believed to have been sold direct to the South African Police. The vendor has done some research and in 1960 the police did have a few 3.8 MK2s which were grey. The car is also fitted with a large CAV Dynamo and very large regulator, which is also believed to be police specification.

The underside of the car is very sound and most bushes, ball joints and suspension parts are visibly recent. The car is also fitted with four pot front brake calipers and ventilated discs. The rear brakes have also been recently replaced, along with Koni Classic shock absorbers. The engine runs very well and also benefits from 2 inch SU Carbs and a stainless steel exhaust. The interior is excellent, with new leather seat coverings, fully refurbished wood, new headlining and carpets. The car body work is in generally very good, but has some micro blister in a few places and some small areas of corrosion, but the sills and structure are very good. This is a very useable and good looking car that just needs a small amount of work to bring it up to an excellent standard.
