Car to be at auction 9/18

Auction description:
Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars: 15 Sep 2018
1963 Jaguar MK X
Guide Price: £10,000 to £15,000
Manufacturer: Jaguar
First Registered: 1963
Model: MK X
Registration No: DMX 867A
Mileometer: 16,750
Chassis No: 303876BW
MOT: May 2019
Colour: Gold

This example is a Jaguar MK X 3.8 auto with speed hold that was registered in April 1963 in North London. The car is presented in Golden Sand metallic with maroon leather interior, it was resprayed before the vendor purchased it and still looks good. The chrome work is very good except the door handles and boot plinth that would really need rechroming. The vendor has owned this car for nearly 2 years and it is only showing a total of 3 owners including him. This car was off the road since before 1980 and there is a DVLA screen shot to confirm this. It has now been made road worthy and has since passed an MOT twice.

The car has had a complete new stainless exhaust fitted and runs well with good oil pressure. A new radiator was installed so car runs nice and cool, so a nice survivor and getting rare. The interior is maroon leather, which is described as not bad but could do with a clean and hide food. The headlining is ok, although the driver's sun visor is missing, and the woodwork, although not rotten, could do with stripping and re-varnishing to make really nice. There is an 8 track player fitted but it does not work. The boot contains a jack spare wheel and the factory tool kit also some 8 track tapes.

Interesting to note that there is the hand book and warranty card signed by a Mr Reginald Kray, and although the car was never registered in his name, there is also further documentation to back up that there is a connection with the Krays, which will go with the car when sold. This car was also a feature in a car magazine on its restoration by the previous owner.

Seller's description :

Offered for sale is a 3.8L 1963 Jaguar Mark X automatic. Coming with a partial history file, this lot's condition scores 79 / 135.

Classic Car Auctions says:

Top of the range Jaguar with underworld and celebrity provenance...

 

Purported to have been owned and used by legendary East End bad boys the Kray Twins

Some documentation including handbook and warranty card signed by Reg Kray

The Jaguar has been off the radar for at least 38 years. Resprayed about two years ago

The red leather interior is essentially original, although the sun visors are missing. Period 8-track still in place. Who might have listened to that?

Stainless steel exhaust. Vendor reports "Good oil pressure. Has had a new radiator and stays cool".

In 1963, the boys were better known for their West End clubs and celebrity friends than the villainy of later years

Remarks

Believed to have been bought new by Mr Reginald Kray and there are documents suggesting this. The car has been off the radar for at least 38 years, as tax was due when computerised tax systems were put in place (1st January 1980). I have a screenshot of this before I taxed the car last year. Also, I have the car's handbook and warranty card signed by Mr Kray.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
