Description
Purchased new by the late
Mr Thomas and subsequently inherited by his son in 2026; showing two owners
but really just one from new; currently displays 75,700
miles
An appealing example of
Jaguar’s elegant MkII saloon, finished in Old English White and complemented by
navy leather upholstery. Powered by the 2,483cc six-cylinder engine and equipped
with a manual gearbox with factory-fitted overdrive, this example combines
period sporting character with the refinement for which Jaguar became
renowned.
First registered in November
1960, the car was supplied new by Martin Walter Ltd of Folkestone (according to
a plaque on the dash) and has had just two keepers in total. It was purchased
new by the late Mr Thomas and subsequently inherited by his son in 2026,
providing an interesting family ownership history.
The Jaguar
currently displays 75,700 miles, although the accuracy of this figure has not
been independently verified. Period features include a Radiomobile radio, Lucas
front fog/spot lamps and distinctive bullet-style racing wing mirrors, adding to
its period character. It also retains its original Kent-issue number plate, 720
MKE.
The car was starting, driving
and stopping as expected while on site for photography and a short video, with
healthy 40psi oil pressure.
An attractive example of
Jaguar’s classic sporting saloon, with an appealing colour combination, factory
overdrive and notably limited recorded ownership.
