Auction description:
1965 Jaguar Mk2 3.8
First Registered: 1965
Registration No: EOL 583C
Mileometer: 85,800
Chassis No: A234867
MOT: August 2018
Colour: Cornish Grey

The vendor has owned this car since January 2000, which he purchased from The E Type Centre in Birmingham. The car was owned by unknown owners in South Africa from September 1965 until June 1990, when it was exported to Britain. There were 3 previous owners in Britain before him.

The general condition of the car is described as very good, showing a recorded mileage of 86,000, which the vendor believes to be correct. The engine was overhauled completely in 2000, and the overdrive re-newed in April 2008. The nearside sills were repaired in December 2010. There are other small modifications such as rear suspension polybushes, and the de Verde hydrogen system to improve fuel economy which can easily be removed if desired. The original red ambla upholstery has recently (2017) been replaced with grey leather, which seems much more suitable. The car is said to have proved generally reliable in use, even on the occasional really long journey. A 3.8 Mk 2 Jaguar, finshed in rare Cornish Grey, with the desirable all-synchromesh gearbox, in good condition with a very realistic reserve.

Guide Price: £17,000 to £22,000
