Auction description:

Ascot Racecourse March 2nd 2019

1964 Jaguar Mk.II (2.4 litre)

Registration EU registered

Chassis Number 117993DN

Engine Number BJ 36 78-8

Odometer reading 89,600 miles

Estimate £19,000 - £24,000

£70,000 nine year restoration

Fully photo documented

Desirable manual with overdrive gearbox

This 1964 Jaguar Mk. II was registered in the Netherlands in 1990 and almost immediately after that, was subject to a complete nut-and-bolt restoration which was fully documented with photographs. These images, included in the history file, immediately show the high standard of restoration this vehicle has been treated to. Every inch of the car, including bodywork, engine, drivetrain, upholstery, woodwork and chrome has been checked and where necessary given a new lease of life in the best way possible. The 2.4 litre engine has been completely taken apart and overhauled, including the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. After the bodywork was completed, it received a bare metal respray in a beautiful and elegant metallic blue, even underneath. The grey leather upholstery, which of course has been completely renovated as well, matches perfectly with the exterior and has helped to achieve the sophisticated look and feel of the original car. The restoration took almost nine years at a total cost of around £70,000 and, despite being completed some time ago, it has been perfectly maintained. Therefore this beautiful Jaguar still looks, drives and handles like it left the Browns Lane factory only yesterday.

Lot 185

1964 Jaguar Mk. II (2.4 litre)

Estimate £15,000 - £20,000

Registration: CAY 23B

Chassis No: 117993DN

Odometer: 90,025

Extensive previous restoration totalling over £70,000

Fabulous condition and specification

Registered in the Netherlands in 1990, this 1964 Jaguar Mk. II was shortly thereafter subjected to a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration, extensively documented with photographs. The images, included in the history file, clearly demonstrate the exceptional standard to which the car was restored, with every aspect of the vehicle carefully inspected and, where necessary, renewed. Bodywork, engine, drivetrain, upholstery, woodwork and brightwork have all received meticulous attention. The 2.4 litre engine was completely dismantled and overhauled, alongside the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Following completion of the bodywork, the car received a bare metal respray in an elegant metallic blue, including the underside. The grey leather interior was also fully refurbished, complementing the exterior beautifully and retaining the sophisticated character of the original car. The restoration took almost nine years and is understood to have cost approximately £70,000. Despite being completed some time ago, the car has been carefully maintained ever since and remains in excellent condition. Our vendor purchased the Jaguar through Historics in 2019 and has kept it in a temperature-controlled garage, covering just 400 miles during his ownership. Presented in exceptional condition, this beautifully restored Mk. II remains a superb example of one of Jaguar’s most iconic models, combining its timeless styling with the benefit of an extensive and thoroughly documented restoration. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
