Auction description:

1959 Jaguar MKI 3.4 manual

Lot Number: 403

Estimate: £15,000 - 20,000

V5 Present

Chassis number: 976576DN

Registered 24th February 1959, the last year of Mk1 production with the correct 97 prefix and DN suffix chassis number. Originally Registered as 39 BTT, the Jaguar was re‑registered as WSV 643 after falling off the DVLA database. It is likely, with a little help from the Jaguar Enthusiasts or Jaguar Drivers club that the original number could be re‑instated.

Purchased by its former owner some 45 years ago and stripped almost immediately with the intention of producing a fast road car. Due to work commitments, the project was never completed. Our vendor describes the shell as being incredibly solid with only minimal repairs required. The original engine (dismantled) and gearbox are present along with the axle and front suspension.

Over the years many new parts have been accumulated or reconditioned. Below is a list of the main items included.

• A complete new trim including green leather seats, door cards, carpets, fur‑flux door trims, and a roll of cloth head lining,

• The dashboard, door capping’s window surrounds and other fitted wood have all been restored to concours standard.

• Chrome work includes what looks to be a new old stock gill, new door window chrome, several light and body fitting are also new old stock, the bumpers although not new are serviceable, as are the door handles.

• Several new suspension parts can be found in the many boxes of parts accompanying the sale,

• New petrol tank

• Refurbished/powder coated steel wheels

• All glass appears present

Paperwork

• Copy of original fold up logbook

• Old style V5

• Current V5c
