One former keeper
Rare and desirable manual overdrive gearbox

Presented in Silver metallic with sumptuous red full leather interior, this example was first registered on 1st August 1964 and specified with the rare and desirable manual with overdrive gearbox. Owned from new for some 43 years, this example has had just one former keeper. Since 2007 the car has been well maintained and now boasts an upgraded XJ6 series III gearbox with synchromesh on all gears, full stainless steel exhaust built by Ian Stewart, 3-2-1 distributer, new electric fuel pump and sits on a matching set of Michelin tyres. The history file shows that in February 2023 the car benefitted from recommissioning work including service and brake service. The history file is comprehensive with significant history dating back to 1964, also supplied with the Jaguar 3.8 Mk. X service manual, spare tyre, jack, toolkit and a period look uprated radio and rear picnic tables. The Mk. X is a wonderful car that was utilised by celebrities and gangsters alike and today is still an imposing classic which has proved to be very collectable and with a sports exhaust and triple carburettors it provides great performance while ample space for the family…or friends.
