Ebay item 7/24/08
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-Jaguar-MKII-Saloon-52827220_W0QQitemZ260266570881 ...
Opening bid $25,000 reserve not met, no bids yet, 9 days left in auction. Complete VIN on this car is J63P218385BW. 121k miles.

Sellers description:
1963 Jaguar MKII Saloon. I have owned this car for two years and hate to sell, but I cannot take it overseas with me. These cars are becoming desirable by collectors and are increasing in value. The old english white exterior and black interior leather is a stunning combination that turns heads. The 3.8 litre 240HP engine is coupled to a more desirable four speed transmission with overdrive. It is a joy to drive with expected power and shows 50Lbs of pressure at 2000 rpm hot. There is no evidence of smoke. The engine was rebuilt at some point in its lifetime. A complete Bartlet interior with connolly leather, wilton wool carpet plus headliner has been installed. The wood was refinished at the same time, It still appears as though the interior was just restored. A kenwood radio/cassette player was installed with four speakers sympathetically installed. All the instrumentation works except for the clock. A trunk kit was installed and all the tools are complete and original. The paint has a few chips at the perifery of the body panels, but otherwise the paint is in very good condition. There is a slight dent at the right rear fender that is barely visible. The chrome is good throughout including the wire wheels. Over the past two years a stainless steel exhaust, water pump and associated hoses, battery, front shocks have been replaced. Vredestein tires were mounted 2,000 miles ago. These tires were original equipment when new.

Opening bid US $50,000, no bids no reserve, 4 days left in auction. Car now said to be in West Chester, Pennsylvania, 125k miles.

Sellers description:
This classic is no "Trailer Queen", It's a real driver-head turner. Terrific acceleration.

Meticulously maintained and upgraded classic car: Transmission replaced with a new XKE type 5 speed; Chrome off paint restoration; Stainless steel exhaust; Aluminum radiator; Power steering; Complete G.W. Bartlet interior w/ Connolly leather; Wood refinished; Custom designed front center armrest; Electronic ignition; Fog lights; Interior & dash LED lighting . . . brakes, water pump, shocks, suspension, electrical, tires, radio, etc., etc.

Car traces its lineage back to Oregon. Like many automatics, it was converted to a standard transmission. Somewhere along the line the engine was rebuilt and runs beautifully with no smoke and strong oil pressure. Having driven Jags back in the 60s, I can tell you that this car drives better than new!

Complete with Tools and Restoration Documentation

1963 Jaguar MK 2 3.8L Manual Transmission Sedan, This exceptionally clean 3.8L Mk 2 Jaguar comes with maintenance records spanning over the last 21 years, starting with caretaker Mr. Reuel Myers of Medford Oregon. Mr. Myers completed an amateur restoration on this car, including a re-spray in white and has listed his expenses totaling over $4,000.00 in 1993. However by 1994 at age 84, Mr. Myers would sell the car to Peter Brevig a few hours away in Portland Oregon, with records showing the odometer reading just under 11,800 miles. Under Mr. Brevigs ownership a very nice black interior was installed by G.W. Bartlett as well as a new steering rack, $500.00 Kenwood sound system and fuel pump. Records document maintenance and servicing until the car was sold after having enjoyed 5,300 miles of driving by the year 2000. The next documented change is in 2006, when the car was acquired by Jack Jenkenson, of Virginia with the odometer showing just over 19,000 miles. The paper trail of service receipts would continue with new tires, water pump, shocks, and slave cylinder, in addition to proper servicing and maintenance.

2011 however would be the year that a full cosmetic restoration would be commissioned, with the removal of all bright work, front and rear windsheilds, and receipts totaling to just over $11,000.00. Now wearing Jaguar Ivory 07-08, the quality of the restoration shows when walking around this car.

Two years following the restoration, the four speed manual transmission was upgraded, this time to a custom 5 speed manual transmission with overdrive, at a cost of over $8,815.00. Work performed would include the installation of a custom-built aluminum alloy bell housing, new DOM propeller shaft with new universal joints and propeller flange all done by American Powertrain of Tennessee. Chrome shift lever and period correct Jaguar style 5 speed gearshift knob blend in well with the Jaguars interior.

All exterior lamp lenses are clean of any scrapes or cracks. Wire wheels are an extremely desirable factory option with this car, as are the side mirrors mounted on the front wings. The paintwork is in excellent condition with only some very minor imperfections like stone chips attributed to normal use. Undercoating applied during the restoration is a nice addition, helping to prevent the weather taking its toll on the metal work in the future. Bright work is also in very good condition with only slight pitting noticeable only upon close inspection.

Doors all open and close smoothly, and as you enter the cabin you will notice that the cabin lights have been changed to LED lighting fitted into the original light casings. In fact, the original dash gauges as well are now lit with LED lighting. Surrounded by beautiful burled walnut veneer, your feel as if you are sitting in a grand hall more than an automobile. All of the wood trim, including dashboard are in extremely good condition, as is the fresh headliner. With the modern convenience of a Pioneer CD MP3 Radio on board, one is granted with the access of listening to music, while the speakers have been tastefully integrated, all discreetly hidden in the front and rear of the car.

For added safety, seatbelts have been installed in the rear quarters. The rear seats similar to the fronts showing almost no signs of use. With the tray tables build into the rear of the front seats, and beautiful burled walnut trim forming to the gentle curves of the rear windows, it's details like these that remind you, you are in a Jaguar.

Undoing the leather straps, and raising the bonnet, you are immediately confronted with the period correct Coopers Air Cleaner, however with closer inspection your eyes will make their way to the beautiful pair of polished aluminum valve covers. A non-matching but fully correct Jaguar 3.8 litre engine follows an aluminum radiator installed in 2014 by XK's Unlimited, makes for a sensible upgrade to aid cool running during the summer months. The engine bay of this car is as tidy as they come, with all rubber still looking fresh, as does the bonnet liner. Inside the boot, you will find the factory jack in its proper place as well as a complete tool kit and original owners manual.

This Mk II starts instantly, and runs effortlessly as a 3.8 litre should. Greatly enhancing the driving experience, the 5 speed fulfills the cars sporty looks, and drives flawlessly, while the 3.8 litre which brings the power and fun of an E-Type to this sports saloon. When it was built in the sixties Jaguar U.S. marketing deemed it "the sedan that behaves like a sports car"! This is a wonderful car to drive, and truly is a turn key example. Coombs spats have also been installed and the original spats come with the car.

With maintenance records covering the last twenty years, receipts note everything from new tires to shocks purchased. It's nothing short of amazing that Jaguar could create a saloon with four doors that could hold the style and grace of this automobile. Encompassing all of the charm that a Mk II has to offer and some several sensible upgrades, this is the ideal weekend tour car or highway cruiser. Price: $49,500
