Auction description:
Lot : 22
1967 Jaguar Mk II 3.4 Litre
SOLD for £13750
Registration No: JUU427D
Chassis No: 170364DN
Engine No: KJ8754-B
CC: 3400
Colour: White
Trim Colour: Red
MOT: April 2011

The RHD 1967 3.4-litre-engined example offered is equipped with manual transmission and overdrive. It has white coachwork complemented by a red leather interior. It comes complete with history file and photos that confirm past restoration work, which is said to have included fully refurbished woodwork and a bare metal respray. The car has also been fitted with rack and pinion power steering and wire wheels. As a result of the improvements the vendor considers the car to be in "good" condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork and paintwork, while he rates the interior trim as "excellent". No model from the Jaguar stable better reflected Sir William Lyons' maxim of 'grace, pace and space' than the MKII and these wonderful cars still cut a dash today - 50 years on. Unlike some classics, they are tough and reliable and will happily keep pace with modern traffic. It is small wonder that good examples are increasingly sought after.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an MOT until April 2011.

PLEASE NOTE: The registration number on this vehicle is JUU427D.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is recorded on the DVLA computer system, but the V5/C has been lost by the vendor. The new owner will need to apply to the DVLA for a duplicate.

in the past 3 years, this car has been subject to significant restoration work. The previous owners had let the mechanical work suffer poorly resulting in an engine that was in the verge of failure, and a host of poor repairs to the bodywork.

A full nut and bolt engine restoration was completed in 2022, and all moving components other that the crankshaft were renewed. In late 2022, the front and rear suspension were overhauled, with 90% of new components fitted. In 2023 a full back to metal respray was completed over an 8 month period with many areas of poor previous repairs attended to. The brakes, rear axle, overdrive, power steering have all been reconditioned. Since 2019 over £30000 has been spent on the car, which now presents and drives like new.
