Our Jaguar Mark II.
A unique and unrepeatable Mark II finised in Gunmetal Grey, which has been the subject of not just one, but two rebuilds by renowned classic Jaguar specialists. A huge file details the work which was carried out at enormous expense to very exacting standards. Originally, the car was exported new to New Zealand from the factory where, 20 years later in the late 80's, it was completely rebuilt to as-new standard specification by Beacham and the colour of the body work changed to Racing Green with a tan interior (see photos attached). , Traditional Restorations - Beacham Special Vehicles, The car was repatriated to the UK in 1990 and was purchased in 2007, still in very good condition, by an enthusiastic and fastidious new owner. He took it to specialists Classic Motor Cars in Shropshire Classic Motor Cars - World-Class Specialists in Classic Cars (classic-motor-cars. co. uk) who gave the car another complete make-over in line with his requirements. The result is a triumph of good taste, with an as-new finish and standard external appearance but with tasteful upgrades to the interior using XJ300 heated seats and centre console while retaining the original dash. The car received a bare metal re-paint back to the original factory colour of metallic grey with blood red seating, again to original colour spec., Front headroom has been increased by modification of the head lining. Interior heating and ventilation have been improved with ducted air to the rear. Mechanically, the original 3. 8 engine and all-synchro overdrive box were rebuilt and the engine compartment beautifully detailed. A high-torque starter motor replaces the original. An improved radiator and electric fan take care of cooling. Brakes were upgraded with 4-pot callipers on the front and later-spec callipers on the rear. The handling is improved by the fitment of uprated springs and dampers front and rear, improved anti-roll bar, uprated bushes, and wider competition-spec wire wheels with Pirelli P4000 tyres., Powered rack and pinion steering is fitted. Custom profiled rear arches complement the external appearance., Red Full leather interior, Metallic Gunmetal Grey, Viewing by appointment only.
