Auction description:

Collectors' Motor Cars

Bonhams, Harrogate Bonhams, Harrogate

1960 Jaguar Mark II 3.4 litre Saloon

Collectors' Motor Cars, Bonhams (15th November 2006)

This car was purchased new in May 1960 by the late Robert Martin, a life-long Jaguar enthusiast. The car was supplied by Whipples Ltd of Grantham who allowed £1,200 on the 1958 Jaguar 3.4 traded in. The original invoice comes with the car. This one-owner Jaguar is to manual specification with overdrive and is equipped with chrome wire wheels. It is presented in dark blue livery with mid blue original leather upholstery and carpets, the original paint being slightly faded and retouched in places, and we feel that the original upholstery will respond well to careful refreshment. The car is equipped with a stainless steel exhaust system, radio and a wood rim steering wheel and a new battery has recently been fitted. The indicated mileage, just in excess of 71,000, is known to be correct and the car has been kept as a second car, used only on high days and holidays in fine weather and in more recent years shown at local classic car events. Enthusiast-maintained and much cherished throughout its life, RCT 800 comes with a Swansea V5 registration document, road fund licence, MoT to June 2007 and period documentation, old MoTs and the aforementioned original supplier’s invoice.
