Auction description:

Fitted with heated side and rear screens by 'Triplex'

Estimate £9,000 - £11,000

Desirable manual gearbox with overdrive example

Finsihed in Navy blue with a patinated oxblood interior

In current ownership for 40 years and offered with current V5C document

First registered in Blackpool on April 5th 1967 (or so its ‘HFV 656E’ number plate would imply), this particular 2.4 litre, manual / overdrive example reputedly owes its unique specification to Mr Reginald Sydney Harris. A senior employee at Triplex, Mr Harris is understood to have uprated the Jaguar with its bespoke ‘heated element’ side windows as part of an extensive restoration that he undertook during the late 1970s. Seemingly done with the famous glass manufacturer’s blessing, the panes in question all carry the British Institute of Standards Kitemark. Having fond memories of driving a MK2 in the 1960s, the vendor jumped at the chance to acquire ‘HFV 656E’ when he happened across it forty years ago. Sparingly used since then, the Jaguar has nonetheless become a much loved member of his family. Only being offered for sale as part of a downsizing exercise, this one-off ‘Triplex Car’ is bound to cause a stir at Jaguar meetings. Accompanying paperwork includes a buff logbook, V5C Registration Document, 1985 Bill of Sale and numerous invoices.
