The Appeal
This matching numbers Jaguar Mark 2 represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of the most iconic classic British cars that has had all of the hard work done for you.
A recent bodywork restoration plus some sympathetic mechanical upgrades mean this fabulous example of the Mark 2 is ready to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.
The History and Paperwork
- Over £40,000 on bodywork restoration and repairs between 2018 and 2020 alone.
- Lots of service and maintenance invoices plus many old MOT certificates going back to the eighties.
- Jaguar Heritage Certificate proving it is a matching numbers car
- Original buff log book and full owners manuals present
- Jaguar workshop manual, spare keys and other literature
The owner purchased the car in 2021 and it has been dry stored ever since with very little use.
This Jaguar underwent extensive repairs and restoration in 2018 and 2020 (invoices present), which were carried out mostly by independent specialists JAGtechnic.
Since then it has been treated to even more expenditure to improve drivability and reliability. The owner has decided to sell his collection of vehicles in preparation for a house move upon retirement.
This Jaguar was originally owned by a Mr Godare and he must have liked it for he kept the car for 17 years and apparently toured Europe in the car. It then passed to Patrick Motors before finding its way via 2 short term owners to a Mr Allen who kept it a further 24 years.
There are also handwritten notes, various receipts for parts and work covering the latter part of the cars life.
The history file includes 24 MOT’s dating back to the 1980’s up to as recently as 2020 and suggests the recorded mileage of 89055 miles is probably correct.

The Interior
- Original interior in good condition
- Recent new carpets and secure original headlining
- Original red leather upholstery with gorgeous wood trim
- Full jaguar tool kit and spare wheel present
- Dials and Smiths gauges in good working order
- Interior wood in very nice shape
Described by the owner as a seven out of ten for condition, the interior of this Jaguar Mark 2 certainly presents very well for a car that is now 62 years old having much of its original interior.
The seatbelts are also rare original jaguar items with the embossed jaguar leaper on the buckles. The bright red leather with wood trim is the perfect combination of 60s style and class that could only be pulled off by a Jaguar of this era.
It is absolutely a wonderful place to be whether you are behind the wheel or simply a passenger along for the ride.
There is no significant damage to note, with the fixtures and fittings in very good order generally.
The owner does note that the door cards have been replaced, there is some darkening to the headlining, some localised tears in the driver’s seat squab and that the small clock in the tacho is not working.

The Exterior
- Beautiful white paint in very good condition
- Recently refurbished black wire wheels in superb order
- Recent bodywork restoration
- Rust proofing treatment applied to underside
- New, expensive period looking Michelins from Longstone tyres
This stunning Jaguar Mark 2 certainly looks the part from the outside, its gleaming Old English White paintwork contrasted by the refurbished black wire wheels. The owner describes the bodywork as at least 8 of 10.
There are no specific visible blemishes on the outside, although the fixtures and fittings do bear some charming patination.
As part of a restoration process that was carried out in 2018-2019, extensive repairs were carried out to the doors, sills, boot lid and wings. This work was carried out to a tremendously high standard by renowned Jaguar specialists JAGtechnic in Eastbourne.
The underside is in good order as evidenced by the photographs. Structural repairs were part of the restoration, and an underbody rust protection treatment has been applied.
The Mechanics
- Said to drive very well with good acceleration and braking performance
- Rebuilt rear suspension and new torque arms commissioned by the owner in 2021 ensure excellent road manners.
- New oil pressure sender
- Lumenition electronic ignition fitted
- Upgraded high output modern compact ‘wasp’ alternator
Mechanically this Jaguar Mark 2 is in very good working order, with the engine firing into life and idling exactly as it should after turning the key.
It sounds lovely and drives very well, does not overheat and runs the correct oil pressure of 40 plus psi, accelerating briskly through the gears while the fully working overdrive works as it should.
The engine bay is extremely tidy and there are no significant oil leaks noted by the owner. These 3.8-litre versions are said to use a little bit of oil but there is no smoke whatsoever.
Finally, the auto choke has been fitted with an override switch, making it easier and more pleasant to drive on warm up in cold weather.
Summary
This is a very handsome example of the fantastic Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 that has had a lot of money spent on ensuring it continues to provide not only visual pleasure, owing to its bodywork restoration, but visceral enjoyment too, thanks to well-sorted mechanicals.
The lucky new owner will be getting a fantastic classic British car that is stunning both inside and out.

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.
