This car was in Norway for very many years

I have now managed to trace some of the Norwegian history . The car was owned by Morten Frederiksen , of Godvik , Bergen in 2001. he sold it in February 2001 to Edward Jansen of Mathopen, Bergen who retained the car for some years , as there is reference to it in a Jaguar club magazine in 2011. However, very little use was made of it according to the mileages at annual inspections, only about 1650 miles being covered between 1998 and 2015 . It appears to have returned to England in early 2017

Registration: XCG 510

Great looking classic Jaguar saloon

Appears to be in largely original condition

Some recent Invoices and bills on file

Comes with Service Manual and supplement plus Heritage certificate

This lovely unspoiled example comes to us from a deceased estate and as such has not been on the road for over 12 months.

Finished in Cornish Grey over Mist Grey with red leather interior, it was manufactured in early November 1959 before being registered for the road on the 1st January 1960 in the name of the first owner, Bailey and Stride Limited.

We understand that the Jaguar lived in Norway at some stage (which may explain the Norsk Jaguar Klubb badge at the front of the car) before being repatriated back to the UK. The deceased vendor bought the car in 2018 for £23,250 from Jeremy Wade (Classic car specialist).

We understand some of the work completed since 2018 is as follows:

Coopercraft front and rear calipers

Bushes replaced

Engine chrome dome nuts replaced

Steering pump drive spindle remade

Leather seats repaired

There are also other invoices on file for parts purchased by the deceased vendor during his ownership.

Exterior wise, there is some micro blistering on the exterior and the chromework is a little pitted but the overall effect of the two tone paintwork is very pleasing. The interior is clean and tidy, and presents very well with only minimal signs of use given the age. A manual sunroof is also present, which is a lovely feature.

The engine turns over but doesnt fire, so it is safe to say some recommissioning will be required.

Notwithstanding this, the Jaguar is a very attractive and sensibly priced example.
