Auction description:
Lot 530
1953 Jaguar Mark VII Saloon
The Beaulieu Sale Collectors' Motor Cars & Automobilia
10 September 2022, 14:00 BST
Beaulieu, National Motor Museum
£20,000 - £30,000
Registration no. 205 UYS
Chassis no. 716340
• Previously used in Africa
• Largely restored
• Replacement engine
One of slightly more than 10,000 Mark VII saloons produced, this early example was owned in Africa by a Mr Perks, who is understood to have been a Government official, and was used by the local British Embassy as a courtesy car. The Jaguar is largely restored and has a replacement engine. Unfortunately the restoration invoices have been lost, however the vendor advises us that circa £40,000 has been spent so far.
