Lot 146 - 1946 Jaguar Mk IV 1½ Litre - One owner since 1964
Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000

This charming little 1½ litre car is finished in its original colour of Battleship grey, with a silver/black interior. With just three owners from new and the present custodian owning the car for some 45 years, it is naturally much loved and presented in good general condition.

Always maintained and described by the vendor as in good running order, FNX 9 comes with its original green log book and a large history file evincing various MoT's back to 1968. FNX 9 provides a unique chance to become the fourth owner of this delightful early post-war Jaguar.

Auction description:
1946 Jaguar Mk. IV, 1½ litre Saloon
Registration FNX 9
Chassis Number 411453
Engine Number KB2950
Odometer reading 67,431 miles
Estimate £20,000 - £24,000

The history of this most elegant of sporting tourers is well documented coming as it does with, not only a comprehensive history, but also an extensive collection of medals, cups and plaques attesting to its quality and renown within Jaguar circles. Presented in extremely original condition throughout, it does appear to have been repainted some time ago, the patina has now softened and the exterior matches the interior well. Black leather surrounds the occupants inside, the seats having been re-stuffed and offering excellent support. Complete with working trafficators, rear blind and a willing engine, this charming example has most certainly been loved, having belonged to the previous owner for over 45 years. Despite cars of this heritage being exempt from MoT test certificates, this enthusiastic owner insists all his cars carry them and are fully running and roadworthy. Indeed over £1,000 has just been spent on the braking system alone. The boot also plays host to a full complement of tools; rare to find in cars of this vintage, and she is used regularly for journeys in the surrounding countryside. A delightful early post-war Jaguar.
