Auction description:
Registration: HSS 807
Chassis Number: 201966DN
Engine Number: LA7435-8
CC: 3781cc
Year of Manufacture: 1960
Estimate (£): 16,000 - 20,000

The car on offer today is an early 1960 built car offered in the preferred colour scheme of Opalescent Gunmetal body with contrasting Red hide interior. The overall impression of the car which is shod on radial tyres with wire wheels, Jaguar spinners and flawless brightwork is very pleasing to the eye. From the comfortable cockpit, this original righthand drive and matching numbers car further benefits from a four speed manual transmission delivering a spritely and accurate drive further aided by enhanced braking care of the upgraded front and rear callipers.

'HSS 807' is the subject of a recent full body and mechanical restoration to original specification by its last owner of 25 years. The replacement of the original leather and carpets means this car retains a wonderful patina unrepeatable in many restored examples.

All factors measured, this is a truly fine and original example of an iconic 60's saloon and with low mileage is one with a long life ahead. Offering perhaps the best value in the marketplace, 'HSS 807' with UK V5C registration certificate, represents the best opportunity you're likely to have to own the most desirable 3.8litre Mk.II before the rest of the market catches on! Don't miss your chance to be driving her away...
