Sold by order of the Executors of the Late Colin Clarke, proceeds to benefit the N.S.P.C.C. and R.N.I.B. 1963 JAGUAR MKII 2.4 SALOON Chassis No. 115555 DN Engine No. BH 9834-8 Opalescent dark blue with grey interior Engine: six cylinder, twin overhead cam, 2,483cc, 120bhp at 5750rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual with overdrive; Suspension: front, independent coil springs, wishbones; rear, semi-elliptic springs, Panhard rod and radius arms; Brakes: servo discs all round. Right hand drive. The Mk II Jaguar was a brilliant face lift of the original 2.4 and 3.4 Mk I saloon and became the mainstay of Jaguar production during the 1960s; with classic, uncluttered styling and compact dimensions the short block 2.4 engine endowed the car with a respectable 120bhp. Other models became available, namely 3.4 litre and, at the top of the range, the 3.8 litre. The model was Jaguar's first unitary construction car and by the time the Mk II was announced in 1959 any earlier shortcomings had been smoothed out; the cars were cheap to run and insure and offered excellent value for money. Colin Clarke purchased this example new in June 1963. On file is his original confirmation of order letter from K.J. Motors Ltd., and agreement of part exchange for his Triumph Herald, even the envelope for the original invoice was retained by Mr Clarke such is the comprehensive nature of the history of this single owner car. The Jaguar was serviced locally in Bromley throughout its life, its service book being stamped up to date until 1970, each invoice up to and from then onwards has seemingly been kept on file, the most recent being some attention to the bodywork in 1993. It is offered with the history file noted, which also includes an immaculate 'Sales & Service Facilities in the United Kingdom' brochure and original handbook. Today, having been left to stand in the open in recent years, the condition is a little tired, and in need of sympathetic restoration, surface corrosion is evident in the wings, but on a cursory inspection the car appears solid underneath. There cannot be many examples of the model that were so cherished, so this is deserving of attention, to be returned to the road, by its next (second) owner. The Jaguar also retains a V5 for its appropriate registration number. WITHOUT RESERVE
