Finished in a Metallic Dark Blue with a Black leather interior, this car is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and overdrive. Having been owned by the vendor's family since 1995, this MkII has been meticulously looked after by the current and previous custodians. While under the ownership of a Mr Lazarowicz, the car completed a major overhaul by Southern Classics in July 1993, costing £8,395 and had a stainless steel exhaust fitted at a cost of £732. In 1994 it received a complete respray in Metallic Dark Blue. The current owners have upgraded the car with an XJ6 steering rack pump and power steering, a Kenlowe fan, larger carburettors, a fluted bonnet, upgraded front & rear brakes, and a fuel catalyst conversion. It has a refurbished Black leather interior, a Moto Lita wooden steering wheel, a stainless steel exhaust and knock-off wire wheels. Over the last 12 months, a further £8,500 has been lavished on engine and brake overhauls. It comes with a sheaf of invoices, correspondence, old V5s, MOTs and Tax Discs, a full photographic record of the engine, brake and body overhaul, a tool kit and original Workshop & Maintenance Manuals.

Flight of Elegance; Farnborough International

1966 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 litre) Manual Overdrive

Estimate £19,000 - £24,000

Registration: KUD 600D

Chassis No: 234791DN

Engine No: LE32588

Odometer: 21,482

A highly appealing and well-sorted example of the iconic sporting saloon, this 1966 Jaguar Mk. II is presented in elegant dark metallic blue with a classic black leather interior. A matching-numbers car, it is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate confirming its provenance and is registered as a Historic Vehicle. Subject to an earlier restoration, the car benefits from a full engine rebuild completed in the 1990s, since then it has covered approximately 5,000 miles. Today it offers a notably enhanced driving experience, combining period charm with a carefully considered programme of upgrades. These include rack-and-pinion power steering from the Jaguar XJ-S, uprated four-pot front calipers with a new servo, and a limited-slip differential. Further improvements comprise of a new alternator with negative-earth conversion and a new high torque starter motor has just been fitted, 123 electronic ignition with Bluetooth capability, two-inch SU carburettors, mild fast-road camshafts, and a manual electric choke. A stainless-steel exhaust system and adjustable rear shock absorbers further enhance performance and usability.

Externally, the car features Coombs-style bonnet louvres and spats, Sundym windscreen glass and a heated rear window (currently inoperative). It rides on chrome wire wheels with removable period-style whitewall trims, reinforcing its classic sporting stance. Inside, the cabin is equipped with front and rear inertia seat belts and a period Moto-Lita steering wheel, along with a largely complete period toolkit. Mechanically, the car is reported to be in strong order, with oil pressure of approximately 40 psi when hot. The all-synchromesh manual gearbox and overdrive operate smoothly, contributing to a refined yet engaging driving experience. Displaying a gentle patina from its earlier restoration, this Mk. II retains considerable presence and charm, offering an attractive balance between originality, usability and discreet performance enhancement. Consigned by James Good
