The Appeal

The MkII Jag is a timeless classic. Whether you appreciate the beautiful, flowing curves of the bodywork, the powerful and characterful straight six or the fabulous driving experience, it's easy to see why they are so popular with enthusiasts.

Incredibly, the current owner has had this car since 1983. During that time he has replaced the engine and stripped the car to completely restore it: upgrading, repairing or replacing, welding and painting to create a lovely car, which has only covered limited mileage since.

The Interior

  • Original seats recoloured
  • Woodwork professionally restored
  • Door cards and headlining replaced
  • New carpet
Mark II Jaguars have always had lovely interiors and this one is a work of art, presented in beautiful condition. During the restoration, the entire cabin was stripped and every item either restored or replaced as necessary.

The leather seats have been re-coloured but retain a gentle and authentic patina to the hide. Meanwhile the padding holds the correct shape, so overall they are in great condition and a delight to look at. The door cards have been replaced with new items as has the carpet, all of which look superb.

All of the wood in the cabin – across the dashboard, door caps and B posts – has been professionally restored and now looks like new. The instruments and controls all look good, and there is an original radio which is unfortunately not in working order. The owner has also added a classic wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel. Finally, a new headlining was installed and new static seat belts have been fitted to all four seats.

The boot area is lined with a black vinyl floor guard and includes a part tool kit, full size spare wheel and a jack (from a 1960s S-Type).

The Exterior 

  • Full restoration in 2007-2010
  • Bare metal respray in Old English White
  • New chrome wire wheels
  • Lovely chrome and brightwork
  • Treated with WaxOyl
For the rebuild, the car was completely stripped and, where required, new metal let in or panels replaced. It was then professionally painted and the underside and all box sections and cavities generously treated with WaxOyl.

Following its full bare metal restoration, the shell appears very good indeed with smooth, blemish-free panels. The paintwork has been finished to a very high standard. When the car was rebuilt new window and door rubbers were also installed. The only two minor issues to note with the bodywork are that the rear arch-spats are not fitted and need some adjustment to seat correctly. Also, the lower inner edges of the doors are beginning to show signs of some light chipping and surface corrosion.

Overall, the brightwork is superb, the grill, bumpers and leaper are all excellent and wear a deep shine. There is some minor micro-pitting on the rear bumper, the tail light plinths and door handles. New chrome wire wheels were fitted in 2010 which feature stainless steel spokes and still look like new, although the owner advises that the tyres are ready to be changed due to their age.

Underneath, the vehicle is in exceptional condition, with no evidence of any corrosion or damage at all. During the restoration, the front subframe was removed, stripped and powder-coated for longevity.

The Mechanics 

  • Rebuilt and balanced engine
  • 4-speed manual with overdrive
  • Suspension rebuilt and powder-coated
  • Uprated front brakes
  • New radiator
A previous owner had changed the engine to a 3.4-litre, and converted the car from an automatic transmission to a manual with overdrive. The current owner restored the car to it's correct 3.8-litre specification in 1986, although they retained the manual transmission.

When the 3.8-litre straight-six was rebuilt, everything was machined and balanced for perfect, smooth running. The bores were honed, crank ground, as well as new valves, guides and pistons being installed. The clutch, timing chains and oil pump were also replaced. Since then the carburettors have been rebuilt and recently the head developed a crack which was professionally repaired. A new radiator was also fitted, using new stainless steel hose clips. The heater was stripped, powder coated and a new matrix fitted. A new wiring loom was installed and new zinc-coated fasteners used throughout the car.

Under the car all new kunifer brake pipes were made and the brakes were rebuilt with all new components while the owner took the opportunity to upgrade the front brakes. The front suspension was then stripped, hot metal sprayed and powder coated before refitting. 

The car still appears very solid and the owner tells us it drives very well indeed and sounds "powerful".

Summary

This is a superb example of a Jaguar Mk2. The white and red combination looks fantastic and the restoration has been done very well. As such there is very little that needs to be done by the new owner. It has had a huge amount spent on parts and work and really does look excellent.

With a few finishing touches and a new set of tyres, you'll have an absolutely superb classic Jaguar on your hands. Who wouldn't want that?

Come funzionano le offerte massime

Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.

Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.

Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.

Incrementi di offerta automatica

  • Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
  • Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
    • Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
    • Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Superamento immediato dell'offerta

Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.

Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.

Offerte massime di pari ammontare

Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.

Pre-autorizzazione

Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.

Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?

Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.

Problema con l'offerta

Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
