Completed on October 1st, 1959, this Mark IX was soon dispatched to Mr. S. Paskow of West Orange, New Jersey. Originally trimmed in the very elegant color scheme of Black and Claret over Red leather, the optional automatic transmission was fitted from new.

This elegant Jaguar has undergone a recent proper comprehensive and award-winning restoration and is presented in the handsome combination of glossy black exterior with a supple biscuit leather interior. Its restoration included a rebuild of the iconic XK engine and Borg Warner DG automatic transmission, along with a repaint and reupholstered interior.

The result is this incredibly presented saloon with numerous Best of Show awards and a 2014 Regional JCNA award, scoring 98.5 points. This numbers-matching Mark IX comes complete with a complete tool set and jack, original owner's manual, original brochures, and original Radiomobile radio. A Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate accompanies the car, along with an extensive file on services and restoration work completed with photos of the restoration, and trophies of its accomplishments.

This gorgeous, sorted example of this capable and luxurious saloon and is ready to continue performing and competing on show fields.
