Beautifully presented example of this classic Jaguar
Recently overhauled engine and restored interior
Offered at No Reserve

In the current ownership for the past eight years, this lovely Jaguar Mark V has always been garaged and never driven in the rain by the current owner. The 3.5-litre engine was rebuilt just 2,500 miles ago and runs quietly and smoothly, maintaining excellent oil pressure. The Jaguar's sumptuous cabin has been professionally restored, with new Red leather upholstery, matching carpets and the headlining replaced. All the timber cappings and facia have been carefully restored to their former glory, while the exterior cosmetics have also been attended to, with the bumpers and other parts re-chromed. Overall the car presents superbly, runs and drives exceptionally well and would make a wonderful vehicle for club outings or shows. Currently registered in Victoria on historic plates, the Jaguar comes supplied with a copy of the workshop manual and will be offered both unregistered and with NO RESERVE.
