RM | Sotheby's - LONDON 24 OCTOBER 2019

Chassis No. 235338

Engine No.LE 4227-8

3.8 manual with overdrive, the most desirable of all the factory Mk IIs

One of the very last Mk IIs built

Beautifully presented in its original classic colours

Fully restored whilst retaining its original interior

Delivered new to New Zealand, its first owner, Harvey Hingston, registered chassis no. 235338 on 30 November 1967 as shown by the original logbook. This example was ordered new in stunning deep gloss Black over a tasteful Oxblood Red leather interior and is presented beautifully in these colours today after a full restoration in 2011/2012; details of this restoration can be found in the extraordinary history file, which contains the original books and invoices going back to 1970 and a JDHT certificate confirming its matching-numbers engine.

Everywhere you look, the signs of a well-loved and truly cherished automobile are evident, from the original leather of the seats to the classic knock-off wire wheels. This is without doubt one of the finest Mark 2s offered to market in recent years and would rightfully deserve its place in any major Jaguar collection.
