My collection of cars and memorabilia have been collected by myself since 1973 but I am retiring and I have decided to offer my collection for sale. However, my love for cars has not diminished and I am happy to consider part exchange.
1956 JAGUAR MK1 2. 4 Special Equipment 4 door SALOON
(Manual with overdrive)
This elegant classic British Sports Saloon is finished in Jaguar glossy black with full red leather trim and polished walnut cappings. This 68-year-old Jaguar has had 7 former keepers and has covered only 65000 miles from new.

The vehicle was fully restored by the famous Cooper Craft Company some years ago and used as a demonstration vehicle. It had a full nut and bolt restoration from the ground up(1987-91), with a change of colour from cream to black, special wire wheels fitted disc brakes and wire wheels were also fitted by Cooper Craft as confirmed by Peter Cooper Craft. There is a full photographic record of this interesting restoration. This car has been very well preserved since then. It is very good underneath having had the benefit of being waxoyled to offer protection and is now offering a very lovely patina.
The Heritage certificate states that the vehicle was sold new by Henleys of London on 22nd August 1956. It still retains its original transferable and valuable registration number of VUO 132. It is both Tax and MoT exempt.
It is the full special equipment model with a manual wide ratio gearbox with overdrive. An earlier version of the MK1 Jag with the wider vents. Chassis and engine number matching with a higher compression ratio of 8:1.
The features include: manual gearbox with overdrive, independent front suspension with double wishbones, coils springs, telescopic dampers, anti-roll bar, wire wheels, disc brakes, fully waxoyled and special wire wheels.
The history folder includes: current/ previous V5’s, original buff log book, current/ previous MoTs, tax discs from 1958, Penrite oil service book, invoices for work carried out not incl resto in excess of £12, 000, Jaguar Heritage Trust letter and cert number 8186, Insurance docs, pre/ post restoration images, list of previous owners, 6 page road test report 25th July 1956, original and copy sales brochure, chassis lube service sheets, lubrication chart, Owner’s Handbook, Haynes Workshop manual, Jag Drivers notification, enthusiasts mags, Wikipedia report, various correspondence, write up on John Coombs of Coombs of Guildford.
