Lot details Registration No: JAZ 2222 Chassis No: 214320BW Mot Expiry: Nov 2007
The result of a painstaking restoration / upgrade programme by Classic Coachbuilders of Sittingbourne (Kent), 'JAZ 2222' is described by the vendor as being "probably the best MK2 Jaguar in the world". Using a left-hand drive 1960 Jaguar MK2 3.8 litre Automatic as a donor vehicle, the ambitious project was completed in 2000 and cost an amazing £95,357.55. Thoroughly stripped, the sports saloon was treated to an uprated four-wheel disc brake system, modified suspension (front coils, dampers, anti-roll bars) and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as well as being converted to right-hand drive. Finished in Metallic Blue, external cosmetic enhancements saw it fitted with halogen headlights, front / rear foglamps, Coombs-style rear wheelarches and 6.5in chrome wire wheels shod with Avon radial tyres. Supping unleaded, its overhauled 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engine boasts an oil cooler, auxiliary fan, electronic ignition, alternator charging system and stainless steel exhaust system. Allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, it provides suitably authoritative performance. In addition to S-Type seats trimmed in blue leather, the interior also benefits from a modern stereo, air-conditioning, satellite navigation, cup-holders, keyless central locking, illuminated glovebox / luggage compartment and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.
Protected by an immobiliser and Tracker system, 'JAZ 2222' is thought to have completed just 5,193 miles since work was completed. A truly exceptional motor car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until November 9th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax until December 31st 2007.
