Engine Number LB1489/8
Estimate £20,000 - £25,000

This lovely example of the much sought after 3.8 litre manual with overdrive Mk. II is presented in navy blue with red leather trim; arguably the best combination for any Mk. II especially when offered with the desirable 3.8 litre engine and manual gearbox with overdrive. First registered on 8th March 1961, this example has been part of a large private collection and continually maintained since ownership by his personal mechanic. When not in use, this Jaguar, together with the rest of his collection, is housed in a Carcoon and shielded from the elements.

Auction description:

20th Sep, 2023, 30th Anniversary Sale at The Imperial War Museum | Duxford, Cambridgeshire

Lot 349

Registration No: 110 BXL

Chassis No: P203377BW

MOT: Exempt

Desirable, 'home market' 3.8 litre example converted to manual overdrive transmission

A very solid example that runs well and could be used ‘as is’ or treated to restoration

Recent expenditure of over £14,000 for mechanical upkeep and improvement

First registered in 1961, this good example of a MkII 3.8 manual overdrive has been cared for well throughout its life including a respray a number of years ago in the attractive Navy Blue it is today, which pairs well with the Red leather interior. The vendor bought the car in 2020 and immediately afterwards treated the car to over £14,000 in mechanical and electrical repair, including replacement or repair of the cooling system, heater system, ignition system, wiring and lighting system, fuel system and a full brake overhaul with new lines. This is all shown in the history file. The car now only appears to be in need of cosmetic repair which will be a worthwhile task as the car is completely usable as is. The vendor is selling to thin out his collection to make space for more of his collection and is offering this Jaguar at 'No Reserve'.
