MONTEREY 2017 CONSIGNMENTS
1959 Jaguar MK IX Saloon
Consignment # 1157

Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale WITHOUT RESERVE and SOLD to the highest bidder August 17th - 19th, 2017 at Russo and Steele's 17th Annual Monterey, California Auction.

This particular example was a U.S. import model so it comes with the more desirable left-hand drive. This Mark IX had the same owner for many years and has been very well-maintained. It comes with all its manuals and paperwork since new. It still has the original factory interior that is in excellent condition which illustrates the care the car has received. It has a rebuilt transmission, cylinder head, the valves were decarbonized and reseated in addition the power steering was rebuilt. It is in excellent condition and has received regular service.

This 1959 Jaguar MK IX is said to have spent time in California, Arizona, and New Hampshire before it was acquired by the seller in 2017. The car is finished in two-tone black and silver over gray leather, and power comes from a 3.8-liter XK inline-six that was reportedly rebuilt in 2020 and is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include fender-mounted mirrors, rear passenger tray tables, and a rear clock. This MK IX is now offered with factory books, wiring diagrams, recent service records, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.

The Mark IX shared its bodywork with the preceding Mark VIII with the addition of chrome Mark IX badging on the trunk lid. This example is finished in two-tone black and silver and features single-piece taillights, Jaguar Automatic badging on the boot lid, rear-wheel spats, fender-mounted mirrors, and a leaper hood ornament.

The black-painted 16″ steel wheels wear Jaguar hubcaps and trim rings, and are mounted with Firestone whitewall bias-ply tires. A full-size spare is mounted under a cover in the trunk. The Mark IX features an independent front suspension and was the first Jaguar sedan to be equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes.

The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in gray leather with matching door panels and blue carpets. Equipment includes a wood dash panel with dual gloveboxes, wood door and window caps, rear seat trays, and a central rear clock mounted over a locking storage cabinet.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a dash panel housing Smiths instrumentation including a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and an inset clock as well as a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and amperage. Just under 53k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, 2k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 3.8-liter XK inline-six was factory rated at 220 horsepower. The engine is said to have been rebuilt in 2020.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt under previous ownership in 2015.

Factory books, a shop manual, and wiring diagrams are included in the sale. The car is titled by the engine number listed on the chassis plate.
