Lot details Registration No: 207 FXA Chassis No: P162973DN Mot Expiry: May 2008
After some twenty-three years of renovation and development experience with the Jaguar MKII, Vicarage enjoys an international reputation and healthy waiting list. Commissioned from the firm for the princely sum of £73,750 in May 1999 (but not delivered until 2001), '207 FXA' boasts an enviable specification. Beginning life as a right-hand drive 3.4 litre manual / overdrive car, it was taken back to bare metal and treated for corrosion before being resprayed dark blue. Visually enhanced with Coombs-style rear wheelarches and racy 'peg-drive' alloy wheels, its four-door bodyshell plays host to a coil-sprung back axle (the converted set-up offering notably better ride and handling characteristics than the leaf-sprung original). Running on unleaded, the sports saloon is powered by a fuel-injected 3.8 litre XK DOHC straight-six engine allied to four-speed ZF automatic transmission (complete with 'J-Gate' selector). While, other mechanical refinements include power-assisted rack and pinion steering and uprated four-wheel disc brakes. Suitably enticing, the cabin is trimmed with parchment hide upholstery (piped in blue), dark blue carpets and polished walnut veneers. Benefiting from such creature comforts as power front seats, electric windows and air-conditioning, it also sports a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Jaguar overmats and modern stereo. Said to have covered just 15,900 miles since the conversion was completed, '207 FXA' is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition. As well as a service by Vicarage (May 2007), recent work has seen the car fitted with a new high-torque starter, alternator and battery. Nicely understated, this sympathetically upgraded MKII is offered for sale with Vicarage invoices, MOT certificate valid until May 2008 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 2008.
