Auction description:
Lot 47c.1951 Jaguar Mark V 3 1/2-litre Saloon Project NO RESERVE [Location: Sydney]

Chassis no. 625234
Engine no. Z4834
Body no. G9723

We understand this Mark V 3 1/2-litre Saloon was part of a larger collection of Jaguars owned by a marque enthusiast who sold them to someone in Queensland several years ago. The current Sydney owner bought a group of cars to get a couple of special models he was particularly interested in and the remainder have been kept in dry storage ever since.

As with all the cars from this collection, the Mark V is in generally poor condition thanks to years of neglect, with a good deal of rust evident in the the floors and lower doors buy many of the hanging panels are reasonably straight. The interior has suffered from years of exposure but is relatively complete with seats, instruments etc. still intact. Under the bonnet the engine showing a number corresponding to the build plate.

Presenting as a good source of spare parts, a restoration project for someone not faint of heart or even a piece of garden art, the Jaguar will be sold unregistered and with No Reserve.
