The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025

Lot Number 170

JAGUAR 3.4 SALOON

Registration Number WVC 598

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number S975537BW

Engine Number KF3223B

Transmission Automatic

Body Colour Sherwood Green

This 1958 example is the larger engined 3.4-litre variant, coupled to what was the rare automatic option, benefits from factory-fitted disc brakes on all four wheels and is displaying just 58,213 miles on the odometer

In 2016, it was the subject of a major professional ground-up body restoration costing c.£20,000, with inner and outer sills and was freshly painted in the lovely, period-correct shade of Sherwood Green you see today

Further attention over the next four years included colour-coded wire wheels, a disc brake system rebuild, complete rewire with a new wiring loom and the glorious tan leather interior was re-connolised

In 2020, the engine was rebuilt with new bearings and piston rings, the SU carbs were overhauled, and a new fuel pump and oil pump were fitted

The Jaguar was purchased by our vendor in 2021and has been carefully maintained and looked after since

Upgrades include professionally fitted inertia seat belts all round and Coombes-style steel rear arches (originals included). The wheels are shod with Blockley Tyres (including spare) that, in the vendor's words, have ‘transformed the handling’ and covered less than 1,000 miles since fitting

The car's history file is substantial and includes its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, original handbook and a plethora of historic MOTs and Tax Discs

This is an excellent opportunity to own a very well sorted and beautifully presented example of Jaguar's landmark late-1950s saloon
