- All-original with no major modifications
- Solid chassis
- Not currently in running order
The Appeal
The Jaguar MK7 was introduced in 1951, and was one of the first from the brand to carry the now legendary XK engine. Originally released as a slight overseas gamble, the UK’s post-war economy recovered just in time - leading to the Brits embracing the big old four-door with gusto. The streamlined shape and quick, powerful power-plant made for a pretty exciting investment for daily drivers, and an impressive bit of race and rally hardware for the adrenaline junkies. It was a winner, through and through.
Previously owned by a French family, we don’t know an extraordinary amount about this car’s heritage. It’s not currently in running order thanks to several years in storage, however, the chassis and suspension are in solid condition, and a quick look over makes for an utterly superb opportunity for repair.
The History and Paperwork
- Sadly, we don’t know much about this car’s history
- Still carries French registration
- Provided with Certificat Immatriculation / Carte Gris
- Standing still for some years and not currently running
The Interior
- A somewhat untidy but complete interior in need of some restoration
- Soft grey leather seating with a pleasant texture
- All wood is complete, but appears to have become partially delaminated
- Some marks, scuffs and staining to dashboard woodwork
- Original dashboard instruments and controls all present
- Knobs and handles have been worn with pick-out print rubbed away
- Missing dashboard cover for stereo / radio
- Metal underneath the dash is bent and shows some wear
- Centre of steering wheel is missing
- Patina across the chromework with some pitting and darkening
- Carpets are worn but display fairly well
- Door cards show some staining and streaking, but no major damage
- Window frames show extensive pitting
- Overall, a solid vintage interior that shouldn’t take much to bring up to snuff
The Exterior
- Wedding White / Ivory finish
- Paintwork is largely in decent order, though some chips are visible
- We can discern some wear to the edges of the doors
- Some slight streaking / discoloration to the sills
- We can spot a little bit of bubbling on the rear wheel spats
- All panels appear to be tight and well put together with no mishapen areas we can spot
- Chromework on the body is relatively bright with some patina
- Front bumper is in a very sorry state with extensive chrome peel
- Rear bumper is better, but does show a deep patina
- Branding is all present and correct through does need a polish
- Wheels show some paint loss and patina, but look to be solid
- Tyres have a decent level of tread but have been standing for some time
- No cracked or missing headlight lenses
- Underneath, the car is in very good order for its age
- No major signs of corrosion to the suspension or chassis, just light wear
- Car has clearly been kept in good, dry storage
The Mechanics
- Not currently in running condition, though this fault hasn’t been examined
- Powered by the long-standing, very capable 3.4L XK straight-six
- Four-speed manual transmission
- Engine bay looks to be in good order, making a great opportunity for repair and restoration
Summary
The MK7 is an impressive car through and through, with everything from race victories to a rare level of luxury proudly in its heritage. With this example standing dry and dormant, you’re looking at a great opportunity to bring this classic back to life.

Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
