1964 Jaguar Mark X 3.8-Litre Saloon
Registration no. UPD 621S Chassis no. 306644DN
Engine no. ZB2046-8
£6,000 - 8,000
US$ 10,000 - 13,000
To be sold without reserve



This Mark X was exported new to South Africa and subsequently shipped back to the UK, becoming part of the Sondes Fields Collection in 1977. In 1994 the car was sent to Paladin Jaguar of Reigate, Surrey for restoration, which included an engine rebuild, a change of exterior colour from blue to red and an interior re-trim in cream vinyl (see bills on file). Maintained by the collection's in-house mechanic, whose hand-written notes are on file, the Mark X was last MoT'd in 2006, since when it has been started regularly and driven on private roads within the estate. A new brake master cylinder was fitted recently and the steering box has been converted to power assistance by Power Steering Services. Presented in generally very good condition and running/driving very well, 'UPD 621S' should require only minimal re-commissioning before returning to active road use. Sold strictly as viewed, the car is offered with service manual, maintenance/service handbook, expired MoT (2006), V5 registration document and the aforementioned restoration bills.
