The Mark 10 was launched in October 1961 and was the biggest top of the range car Jaguar had built, weighing approximately 2 tonnes. It’s lower bonnet line made it appear wider than most cars on the road (which it was). Even now it is still a huge charismatic car compared to modern vehicles.
The car features the same independent rear suspension system designed by Jaguar engineer Bob Blake used on the E-Type. This gives the car an exemplary ride and roadholding and floats over the bumps in the road despite its size. The car is also fitted with the same 3.8 litre XK engine as the E-Type which continued Jaguar’s reputation for producing high performance, well finished cars, that were excellent value.
• File of documents and receipts for work done over the years
• Bought from Grimsby where it was originally sold
• Service handbook
• Production Record Trace Certificate
The car comes with a file full of receipts from previous work done. There is a letter dated 1970 from Jaguar to confirm the original engine was professionally replaced.
Please note that the private number plate will not be included in the sale of the vehicle, however the original registration will be included.
The Jaguar’s interior is a refined affair of highly polished veneered woodwork and bright red furnishings, such as is found only in high-quality cars.
The red interior has been professionally retrimmed in a fabulous bright red material that simulates leather and is done to a high standard. Both the front and rear seats are bolstered well and legroom in the rear is ample allowing for comfort when folding down the lacquered wooden mirrored edge table. There are adjustable heater controls on the footwell.
The headliner is clean and secure with the red beading in excellent condition. The Mk.10 has a simply enormous luggage boot, the upright spare wheel wrapped in red material that matches the interior. There might be a bit of insulation needed for the underside of the boot and a bit of tidying up of the wires and carpet.
The dials and switches work but the radio will need attention as it didn’t come on. There are a few blemishes on the glossy walnut dashboard and along the door tops below the windows caused by the sun commensurate with age but overall, in good condition.
• Good chrome work, with just slight signs of pitting
• Metallic gunmetal grey paintwork
• Stainless steel exhaust
Aimed initially at the lucrative US market, the Mk.10 with its sleek look appealed to buyers in the UK who wanted quality and refinement. It’s a huge car, even at today standards, with a length of 5144 mm and 1943 mm wide.
The metallic gunmetal grey paintwork looks to be a very professional respray from the original pearlescent grey and is polished up well and glimmers in the sunshine. There are a few brush scratches along the doors and a slight crease along the centre of the boot running from side to side where it looks like something has been put on it.
Along the edges of the wheel arches will need work and there are a few other blemishes that will need addressing.
Underneath the MK.10 has been undersealed at some stage and there has been some welding done along the sills. The sill tops on the doorsteps will need work or maybe replacing, we’ve been assured spare parts are still available from several places in the UK at very reasonable prices.
• Petrol tanks anti corrosion treatment and coated
• Full recent service
• Refurbished front brake callipers
• Refined and durable 3.8l straight 6 XK engine
The car starts very well at the push of a button and the engine purrs nicely. The engine bay is clean and looks very well cared for over the years.
The refurbished brakes stop the car well. The steering is heavy as it does require new steering pump seals for the power steering. We were informed the seals on the gearbox will need replacing too as there is a small weeping leak, but gears can still be selected.
Having very little time to use and enjoy the vehicle, the seller has decided it’s time for the next owner to enjoy it and maybe improve the bodywork. He wants to spend more time with his grandchildren and less time tinkering with classic cars that need attention.
By any standards this is an impressive vehicle to see on the road.
The Mk.10 Jaguar is also a masterpiece of engineering design and manufacture. It does need some work to bring up to standard, but this is an honest classic car that was originally created for diplomats and film stars, now it’s your turn to be noticed.

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.

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.
