Very desirable, right-hand drive, 3.8-litre manual car with overdrive

Supplied with a host of invoices, UK V5c and photo album
This is a beautiful car in Metallic Burgundy with a stunning tan leather interior

Offered here is a right-hand drive Jaguar Mk2 3.8 with a manual gearbox and overdrive, the most sought-after combination, first registered in the UK on 07/04/60. In 2000, it was the recipient of a comprehensive body and trim restoration, the result of which still looks superb. There are invoices in the file for parts alone from XK Engineering totalling more £7,500, while the works were carried out by Somerset-based company, Auto Refinishers who agreed £12,000 to complete the refurbishment.

The car is finished in Metallic Burgundy whilst the interior has been beautifully trimmed in tan leather. The veneered dashboard and door cappings are finished to a high standard adding to the general ambience of the cabin and making it a very nice place to be. The shut lines look good overall and the car sits on wire wheels. The fact it still looks as smart as it does after being restored some 17 years ago is a testament to the high standards of workmanship at the time.

Supplied with a UK V5c, an album of photos from the refurbishment work and a host of invoices, this Mk2 3.8 is presented in excellent condition throughout and is showing no signs of being an older restoration. With the prices of E-types continuing to amaze, these Mk2 3.8s are becoming more and more desirable.
