Lot details Registration No: KGJ559A Chassis No: 209906 Mot Expiry: Aug 2013
The immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved, DOHC in-line, six-cylinder XK engine. When equipped with the latter, the MKII was capable of sprinting to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.
Originally an automatic example, this right-hand drive 3.8 MKII is these days equipped with the desirable manual/overdrive transmission. Manufactured in January 1963, it was an Australian export model distributed new by Bryson of Sydney to J.D. and A.H. Evans of Long Jutty. It is understood to have been restored circa 12 years ago and repatriated a couple of years later. `KGJ 559A' has Red bodywork teamed with Cream leather upholstery and is considered by the vendor to have "good" bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and transmission and a "very good" XK engine. The Jaguar has apparently been used sparingly in recent years and is now offered complete with history file, Heritage Certificate and MOT valid until August 2013.
