Auction description:

1962 Jaguar MK2 3.8

Colour Red

Odometer 113,101 Miles

Engine size 3781

Town Penzance

Seller Type Private

Location Cornwall

Country United Kingdom

3.8L Manual

Great condition

3 Owners from new

Current owner since 1984

Vast collection of past paperwork 

Past MOT certificates 

Record of substantial work 2009/2010 

This MKII was purchased in 1962 by the Watney Brewery, for the purpose of providing luxury transport for the Brewery owners and Watney family. Included with the car is the original service book, which records regular servicing records up until 1964/1965. Additional maintenance invoices for works carried out through its life are on file, with the majority being for its time down in Cornwall where it currently resides. 

Two Cornish residents have had the pleasure of owning this fine car, with the current owner purchasing the vehicle in 1984. Over the course of that 38 year ownership the vehicle has undergone gradual restoration with a substantial amount of work carried out in 2009/2010 which includes mechanical work by specialist Rob Beere Racing and body restoration by a local classic car specialist. 

THE INTERIOR 

Great condition 

Burgundy leather seats

Original dash and dials 

A glorious blend of walnut and leather, the interior of this MKII is splendid. The seats were retrimmed to at some point in the 90’s but kept to the original maroon leather and condition wise they’re in fine order with only small signs of wear. The dash is sleek, polished and in good condition again with only a small bit of wear visible to the right of the centre console. 

The beautiful switches and dials are all present and all reported to be in working order and the carpets are in fair shape with some wear visible and pictured. It's a real pleasure being inside one of these Jags, designed to be spacious and luxurious for those in the front and rear, wherever you find yourself will feel nothing but ultimate satisfaction. 

THE EXTERIOR 

Striking red paint 

Chrome work in good order 

Minor blemishes present 

Finished in what we believe is Jags signal red, the exterior of the car is in fine order with only a few small blemishes which have been photographed. Chrome trim and bumpers are bright and fresh with only a polish required to get them back to sublime. The wire wheels are like newt, wrapped in satisfactory rubber. 

There’s very little to complain about when it comes to this car. It's quite clear it’s lived a life being cherished by all who were lucky enough to have ownership and not neglected in any manner. These MK II’s are a thing of beauty from all angles, with beautiful flowing lines complemented by the tiniest chrome detail. A very tidy example of a superb car. 

THE MECHANICS 

3.8L Straight-six 

Rebuilt & tuned engine by Rob Beere Racing 

Extensive work carried out in 2009/2010 

On our visit the car was manoeuvred into position for the photographer comfortably and without fuss. The 3.8L straight six fired up and roared with pride, a truly fabulous noise that seems to infect all within earshot with thrill and joy. It ticked over easily, sounding substantial but effortless testament to the work carried out by Jaguar specialist Rob Beere Racing. 

The car is used very little, spending most of its time tucked away in a garage but often it's taken to the local specialist for oil and fuel refresh, plus a check over, the last check being March 2022.
