Description
Manual
gearbox; 10 former keepers; classic white with a striking red leather interior;
accompanying the vehicle is a history file containing various
invoices.
The car
has been in the same family household for 17 years and comes in 'Old English
White' with a striking red leather interior; accompanying the vehicle is a
history file containing various invoices.
Offered for sale is this charming 1963 Jaguar
Mk2 2.4L Manual with overdrive, first registered in June 1963 and presented in
old English white with a striking red leather interior that perfectly captures
the elegance and character of a 1960s British sports saloon. Powered by the
smooth 2,483cc engine paired with a manual gearbox which incorporates an
overdrive, the car delivers the traditional Jaguar driving experience that
enthusiasts have admired for decades.
This example has been in the same family for 17
years and but has been in the current ownership since April 2022. It remains an
appealing example of the marque, offering timeless styling, refined road manners
and the unmistakable presence that only a classic Jaguar can
provide.
The car
underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration in the 1990s, which is supported by
valuation certificates issued shortly after the work was completed. Accompanying
the vehicle is a history file containing various invoices from over the years,
documenting maintenance and work carried out during its life. More recently, an
invoice from December 2024 (see email/invoice reference) details further work
including the rebuild of the carburettors, brakes, ignition system and related
components. These papers help to illustrate the ongoing care the car has
received and provide useful background for the next
custodian.
While
on site, the vehicle has been started, driven and brought to a stop as expected
for the purposes of photography and a short video, demonstrating that it moves
under its own power. As with any car of this age, prospective buyers should
expect the character and quirks associated with a classic vehicle of over sixty
years old.
This
1963 Jaguar Mk2 2.4L Manual Overdrive represents an opportunity to acquire a
handsome and usable classic British saloon with an attractive colour
combination, period charm and the potential to be enjoyed on the road or further
improved by its next owner.
