Description

Estimated Price: £12,000 - £15,000

  • Offered from the Birdingbury Collection, a carefully curated selection of six cars from a long-standing private Collection, this 1963 Mk2 3.8-litre joined the collection in April 2014 and is excitingly offered without reserve
  • The 1963 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre represents the absolute pinnacle of Jaguar’s classic compact sports saloon. Combining race-bred performance with unmatched 1960s British luxury, the 3.8-litre variant was the fastest, most desirable, and most famous configuration of the Mk2 range
  • This rare automatic 3.8-litre presents beautifully in Opalescent Maroon over Beige hide enhanced by burr walnut veneers and a Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel
  • Serviced by renowned marque specialists XK Engineering shortly after purchase, the car has since been kept in long-term storage and used sparingly, under the care of Mortons Engineering
  • During the current ownership, Mortons' mechanical work has included a service, replacement front brake cylinders and brake hoses all round, new front ball joint boots and new rear tie rod and Panhard rod bushes. They also fixed a gearbox oil leak, tuned the carburettors and fitted a new distributor cap, plug leads and spark plugs
  • Structurally, the underside has been rust-treated and a new section welded into the front chassis cross member. The car has also received a full interior, exterior and under-bonnet detail and will benefit from a fresh MOT prior to the sale
  • Excitingly offered with no reserve, this is an appealing opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic British saloons of the 1960s, with the added appeal of the desirable 3.8-litre engine
