This 1960 Jaguar MK IX was purchased by the seller in 1997 out of Florida and relocated to Michigan, where a refurbishment was started. The car received a body-off repaint in gray as well as rebuilds of the 3.8-liter inline-six and Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Other work included braking and suspension system overhauls, refinishing the wheels and interior woodwork, and replacing the headliner. The car has been sitting for approximately 19 years and will require further work before use, including the installation of the interior. This non-running MK IX project is now offered with an interior kit, additional spare parts, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, service invoices, refurbishment photos, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

Bodywork by R&A Engineering of Manchester, Michigan, began in 1999 and included removing the body from the chassis and stripping it before performing a repaint in gray. The brightwork was re-chromed in 2001. Body-color 16″ steel wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires purchased from Coker Tire in November 1998. Replaced braking components include the hoses, pads, and front discs. The brake cylinders were re-sleeved in stainless steel, and the suspension bushings have been replaced.

The headliner on the interior roof and sunroof has been replaced, and the wood trim was refinished by Classic Veneers in the UK. The seats, carpets, door panels, and other interior trim have been removed. A BAS interior kit included in the sale features light gray upholstery with dark gray piping, door panels, carpeting, and trunk coverings. It is pictured in the gallery below, along with the removed seats. The handbrake handle and shifter are not connected, and the accelerator and brake pedals are not installed.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a partially installed dashboard. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, a combination oil pressure and water temperature gauge, an ammeter, and a fuel-level gauge. Just over 32k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, with true mileage unknown.

The 3.8-liter XK inline-six is fitted with a cylinder head from a Jaguar Mk II. The engine was rebuilt by the British Motor Company of Eugene, Oregon, in 1998. The engine has not been started for several years. A replacement wiring harness is said to be partially installed.

Shifting is through a rebuilt Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission.
