LIVE AUCTION: Saturday 27th March | 11.00am GMT

Finished in the rare factory colour of Bronze Metallic with Magnolia Hide

Returned to the UK in the early 90s and still remains in left-hand drive

Subsequently fittted with a correct-type Manual Gearbox and Overdrive

In our vendor’s caring ownership for almost thirty years

Fastidiously maintained regardless of cost and it shows

A superbly original 3.8 Mk2 finished in the rare and attractive colour of Bronze Metallic, an original factory option that is rarely seen today, complimented by Magnolia Hide.

Originally supplied through Jaguar Cars, New York in 1961 with an automatic gearbox and factory fitted power assisted steering, this particular Mk2 returned to these shores in the early 90s being purchased at that point by the current owner, a custodianship of some thirty years! As his intention was to use the car for touring and travelling between homes in the UK and Finland the decision was taken to leave the car in left-hand drive and fit a correct-type manual gearbox providing the ideal motoring experience for a car of this ilk. The paintwork was also refreshed at this time and remains in outstanding condition to this day, as does the remainder of the Jaguar.

The specification, with the exception of the gearbox, is as it left the factory including the painted wire wheels and tool kit which still resides within the spare wheel well.

An exceptional example of the much loved and admired 60s family sports saloon that will never fail to turn heads on the show field, the country lanes or on that, soon to be enjoyed, jaunt into Europe.
