1960 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-Litre Saloon
Registration no. to be advised
Chassis no. P211126BW

Sold for £16,100 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

Representing the Jaguar Mk2 in its ultimate 3.8-litre configuration, this recently restored left-hand drive example was purchased new from British Motors in San Francisco and spent 20 years in Alameda, California. We are advised that a new engine and automatic transmission have been installed; all hoses, belts, gaskets and seals have been replaced; the carburettors rebuilt and tuned; the generator rebuilt; and all suspension components removed, overhauled and refitted. Worthwhile improvements include air conditioning, power assisted steering, a brake booster and upgraded suspension. Finished in black/silver with red Connolly leather interior, the car is described by the vendor as in generally good condition and comes with its original tool kit. The vehicle has only just arrived in the UK and is expected to be taxed, MoT'd and registered by time of sale.
