Chassis no. 176575DN
Engine no. KG6202-8
*Beautifully restored, sporting MkII
*Numerous Best in Class awards
*Elegant color combination
*Jaguar's iconic businessman's express
This beautiful MkII is finished in the fetching combination of Opalescent Dark Blue over Crème Connolly leather with dark blue piping, deep Wilton wool carpets and rich burl walnut trim. A US market car, it was discovered by the vendor as a project in boxes. A Jaguar enthusiast who had previous built up a Mk II for high speed touring (see lot 111), he wanted to restore another example to as-new condition.
With the help of his brother, a concours restoration was begun in 1994. Swiftly earning his position in the Jaguar world as a Mark II Guru, the restoration was meticulously researched and only original or new-old-stock pieces were used. Reams of receipts document the acquisition of the correct parts for the completion of the restoration. Painstakingly working over countless hours, the restoration was completed over more than one year period. While the majority of the work was completed by the vendor, the major tasks including paint and bodywork were done by Hyannis Restoration while the brightwork was redone by Waltham Chrome Plating.
The finished product would no doubt have wowed the production supervisors on the Mk II line had it rolled offer in 1960. Gleaming and gorgeous, it was extensively shown around the Northeast--taking Best in Class trophies at just about every event into which it was entered.
Driven fewer than 100 miles since its restoration just over two decades ago, the car is very presentable today. Documented by numerous magazine and newspaper articles along with photographs, a number of spares for Mk IIs such as a complete set of walnut interior trim pieces, outer chrome bumper, grill, and interior trim pieces (all NOS), as well as a Jaguar tool kit, this is perfect way to enjoy the Jaguar experience with both friends and family in tow!
