Comments from the seller
This Jaguar is an original MK 2 Sedan 1961 3.8 Manual that came from South Africa in October 2016.
I purchased this vehicle from my cousin and know all about the total restoration in 1997 and quality of the vehicle and build - hence the purchase. All details are available if requested.
This beautiful car has won two awards in the ‘Con 2’ category in both Australia and South Africa. It is also “Heritage Listed’ and licensed through the Jaguar Car Club of WA and insured through Shannons of Australia for $80K.
The car is Positive to Earth. It also has overdrive on 4th gear only, with upgrades to the vehicle, all Jaguar parts, as listed below. The car is in excellent condition and has been professionally maintained, serviced and restored when required. All details of upkeep available. This car is mechanically sound and can be driven anywhere straight away and competition ready. Although the car has some slight rust starting to show (and is therefore down priced), in my opinion, you will not find a more beautiful and ready to enjoy car for many years, without having much work to do, or money to spend. The positives for this car will convince most buyers.
I can offer Roadbend Motors & FMJ Automotive of Perth as professional references for this vehicle, as they have done all the necessary upgrades and total maintenance. This car has been nursed like a much loved baby and been kept in a lock-up garage and under cover it’s entire life.
Includes:
• The car has the complete original boot tool kit , wheel spanner and jack. Original and complete tool kits are rare and therefore very valuable.
‘All Synchromesh’ manual gearbox. Synchromesh gearboxes were only fitted to the MK 2 starting in 1964. The earlier models were fitted with “crash” gearboxes i.e. no synchromesh on first gear.
• Fitted 2” SU carburettors and therefore includes upgraded Jaguar S Type air filter. Originally fitted with 13/4” SU carburettors.
• Jaguar D Type wood rim steering wheel.
• Fitted with beautiful “completion” chrome wire wheels (New wire wheels with new splined hubs. Standard painted spare wire wheel in the boot).
• “Mini” wheel spats to rear wheels fitted (This is a ‘Coombs modification’ for racing). Original full spats available as spares.
• Original SU fuel pump upgraded and modified to “electronic” operation.
• Rev counter modified and upgraded to operate from the coil and not the generator and fitted to the rear of the cam shaft.
• Electronic Ignition
• Electric Engine cooling fan
• Stainless steel exhaust system
• New RetroSound Radio with Bluetooth/I-Tunes and hands-free connection with 4 x speakers and electric aerial
• All brakes totally reconditioned
I have disconnected the heater system and the windscreen washer motor needs replacement. (These are readily available. I chose not to drive this car in the rain.
