Car to be at auction in '07
www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php
Auction description:
Blenheim Palace, Oxford
Saturday 14th July 2007
Lot 442
1961 Jaguar Mk. II 3.4 litre Automatic
Registration no: 775 UPK
Chassis no: 156166BW
Estimate: £26,000-32,000
This original four owner car from new was purchased by one of the directors of Barclays Bank on the 10th July 1969, he owned the car for 8 years until 1980 whereupon he sold it to his brother. He then kept it for 11 years when it was sold to Grahame Price of Grace Jaguars in 1980. The renowned Jaguar restorers completely stripped the car and carried out a full 'nut and bolt' restoration over the next 5 years. Grahame Price owned the car for the ensuing 26 years when it was sold to the current vendor. 775 UPK has a fabulous history file as well as many 'old log sheet books' noting petrol and other sundries consumed as well as a letter from the original owner. It also comes with its original Buff Log Book and is an original matching number car. Also enclosed are many valuations over the years from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club and Vicarage stating a figure of £32,000. Recently it has had a further cosmetic restoration with bills for over £17,000 spent. This example is in, as the vendor states, quite superb condition and represents real British workmanship at its very best. Finished in opalescent British Racing Green with a suede green interior, this stunning motorcar is fully serviced and will carry a full 1 year MoT test certificate for it's arrival at Blenheim Palace.
