1961 JAGUAR MARK IX
Chassis no. 791579BW
Engine no. NC4780-9
Body no. NO04752
Gearbox no. JB8 5911
This superb Jaguar Mark IX is certainly among the very best examples on the planet, of an unmolested and unrestored survivor. As you can see by the pictures, this is a beautiful and very straight highly optioned Mk IX. This car came with a factory sliding roof, radio, twin tanks and high output heater plus as an added bonus this was the first year for the upgraded big disc brakes on all four corners. Also this car sports generator power steering and a large core radiator. This example has virtually no rust other than normal Mk IX flaws. It has correct Wilton Wools. All of the burl wood is in spectacular condition for never have been stripped and refinished. We bought this car out of sheer amazement of the quality of the upkeep for over 40 years. Instead of molesting the car and trying to restore it, we have left it as we bought it with the beautiful timeless aging. The only attention we gave this timeless driver was a minor tune and a little bit of clean up. Other than that I have been driving the car every other day. It runs like a top! Because of the unbelievable upkeep over the years, this car will make it's new owner extremely proud and will be very low maintenance due to the fact it was pampered for years.
