Sat 22nd & Sun 23rd August

1966 JAGUAR MKII

Estimate: £10,000 - £13,000

V5 present

MoT exempt

Chassis number: 120075DN

Engine size: 2483cc

This lovely Mk2 Jaguar received a professional bodywork restoration in 2011. The interior features smart magnolia leather, mostly lovely walnut with a Moto-Lita wheel, and an original Motorola stereo connected to later Pioneer speakers. The car has been owned by our vendor for the last couple of years, and its odometer is showing 50,316 miles.

The history file contains a few old MoT certificates and receipts, one describing its £4k bodywork restoration as follows: “Repaint including strip and refit of all appropriate parts, stripping down all four doors and treating them. All four doors have had new sections welded on the bottoms. All panels and the shell have been taken back to bare metal. Some areas were treated with a rust preventer and etch-primed. After a high-builder primer, the car was painted in Jaguar Claret Red. After its base coat, the car had several layers of clear coat."

Although this invoice mentions Claret Red, it appears to wear its original shade of Opalescent Maroon, this being the shade which appears on the car's original green logbooks. The car is also supplied with a few spares and an original toolkit, and a service book which records 10 services in the first 23k miles up to 1972. It was first registered in Blackburn in July 1966.

We're advised that the horn does not work.
