First registered as 'NWC 364' on November 9th 1962, this 'matching numbers' example was originally finished in Opalescent Dark Blue with Grey leather upholstery. Supplied new to Leslie Fellow Esq. of Leigh-on-Sea, it passed to Alfred Cheshire of Billericay less than two years later. A surviving MOT certificate indicates that the Jaguar had covered some 49,273 miles by March 1974. Taken off the road following the death of Mr Cheshire's wife, the MKII remained garaged until the late 1990s when it entered the current (third) ownership. Found to be structurally very sound, the sports saloon had attention paid to its brakes, rear wheel bearings, suspension, power steering, subframe mounts, shock absorbers, heater, petrol tank, radiator, propshaft and exhaust etc. Further benefiting from an engine and automatic transmission overhaul (plus unleaded fuel conversion), the Jaguar was refinished in its correct period livery. Something of a timewarp, the sports saloon's interior retains its factory fitted upholstery and wood trim. Believed but not warranted to have covered just 52,000 miles from new, this charming three owner MKII 3.8 litre is offered for sale with history file (original buff logbook, numerous restoration invoices etc) and MOT certificate valid until July 2012.
