Auction description:
The Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show Sale 2024

JAGUAR MK1
Registration Number UXO 261
Chassis Number 5909191
Engine Number BC40308
Transmission Manual
Body Colour Warwick Grey

UK-delivered Jaguar 2.4-litre Mk1, right-hand drive, two owners and 43,00miles. Complete with its original valve radio, unused half spats and factory radiator blanket. They're only original once and 'boy oh boy' is this original.

A beautiful, UK-home market Jaguar 2.4-litre Saloon (latterly known as the Mk1) finished in Warwick Grey with an original red leather interior
The original owner purchased the car from Henleys of Edgeware and kept it until 1998 when our lucky vendor stumbled across it
Apparently one of the first cars to use the M1 motorway at speeds in excess of 100mph!
Has had some minor paint rectification but predominantly a surviving original example making it very desirable
Good history. 30 MOT Certificates and invoices for works carried out over the years
Recently taken care of by CMC specialists in Kidderminster (detailed reports in the file)
Supplied with its original valve radio, owners manual, the 'half spats' that have never been on the car, full Jaguar tool kit, its original factory radiator blanket, jack and spare wheel
Rarely do cars like this with such provenance come to market, so when they do 'carpe diem'
