This 1958 Jaguar Mk I saloon is finished in white over tan leather and powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car spent time in Texas from 1988 until it was acquired by the selling dealer and relocated to New York in 2022. Features include chrome bumpers and trim, 15″ steel wheels with chrome covers, burl walnut interior trim, and a push-button radio. Service completed in preparation for the sale included rebuilding the brake components, replacing the tires, and performing an oil change. This left-hand-drive Mk I is now offered at no reserve in New York with a tool kit and a clean Texas title.

The car was refinished in white approximately 20 years ago according to the seller. Exterior features include chrome front and rear bumpers with overriders, a single side mirror, and a chrome grille and trim.

Painted 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 205/70 Yokohama Avid Touring-S tires that were installed in preparation for the sale. The braking components were rebuilt under current ownership.

The cabin features seating upholstered in tan leather with matching door panels and burl walnut on the dashboard and door tops. Amenities include front and rear vent windows, a heater, a push-button radio, and a locking glovebox.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a storage cubby, and the centrally located Smiths instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an integrated clock, an ammeter, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 32k miles, approximately 75 of which have been added by the selling dealer. The seller states that the tachometer and the gas gauge are inoperable.

The 3.4-liter inline-six features dual overhead camshafts and twin SU carburetors, and it was rated at 210 horsepower when new. The coolant was flushed and the oil changed in preparation for the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the overdrive is inoperable.
