This 1963 Jaguar MK X was reportedly ordered new from Hornburg Jaguar of Santa Monica, California with European delivery and was purchased by its current owner in 1975. Finished in metallic blue over tan vinyl, it is powered by a numbers-matching 3.8L inline-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a front badge bar, chrome bumpers, 14″ steel wheels, rear picnic tables, power windows, and power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The car is said to have been stored for the last five years, and servicing in 2019 reportedly included an oil change, brake and fuel system work, and replacement of the fan belt and exhaust components. This MK X is now offered by the seller on behalf of its current owner with an owner’s manual, handwritten ownership notes, partial service records, and a clean California title.

The car wears an older repaint in Quartz Metallic Blue and features a front badge bar, quadruple headlights, fender-mounted mirrors, twin exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers and trim. The seller notes numerous areas of cracked and chipped paint, and rust on the right-front wheel arch.

Silver-painted 14″ steel wheels with chrome trim rings and Jaguar-logo hubcaps wear whitewall tires that the seller states are in need of replacement. The car is equipped with independent rear suspension and power-assisted steering. Braking is provided by power-assisted discs at each corner, and the front calipers were reportedly rebuilt and the flex hoses were replaced in 2019.

The cabin was re-trimmed in tan vinyl during current ownership and features brown carpets and burl wood trim on the dashboard and doors. Appointments include a two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring, power windows, lap belts, and burl wood picnic tables for the rear occupants. There is a tear in the driver’s seat upholstery, the wood trim has deteriorated, the power windows function slowly, and the right-side C-pillar trim is torn. A personalized plate is affixed to the dashboard.

Instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, an ammeter, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles and was reset in 1996. Approximately 100k miles were reportedly driven during current ownership, and total mileage is unknown.

The numbers-matching 3.8L inline-six features triple SU carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission that was reportedly rebuilt in 2006. Servicing in 2019 is said to have included an oil change, replacement of the fan belt and exhaust components, and installation of an SU electric fuel pump in one of the fuel tanks. The other fuel tank is currently removed from the car and will require a replacement fuel pump to function.

The seller notes a rattling center shaft bearing and states that it needs to be replaced. Additional underside images can be viewed in the gallery.

An owner’s manual containing handwritten ownership notes is included in the sale along with partial service records and a trunk-mounted spare wheel and tire.

This 1963 Jaguar MK X is said to have been ordered new from Hornburg Jaguar of Santa Monica, California, with European delivery and was acquired by the seller on BaT in July 2021.

Replacing the ignition distributor points and condenser

The engine stamp ZA9269-9 matches the engine number on the chassis tag shown in the gallery.

Work in August 2022 is said to have included performing a fluid service on the differential and replacing the subframe mounts and driveshaft center support.
