1961 Jaguar Mk2 Manual Overdrive 2.4 SOLD

First registered on the 24th May 1961 our lovely Mk2 Jaguar 2. 4 Manual Overdrive is now reluctantly for sale. This is an extremely straight, solid and well-maintained low mileage car in very good original condition. It comes with an extensive folder full of history and has been regularly (and recently) professionally serviced. It has a nice long current MOT with no advisories until next March 2020 and an excellent DVLA computerised MOT history going back a number of years. You will be hard pressed to find a better one and it took me two years of looking before I snapped this one up! I would potentially consider a part exchange with cash my way for a 1960s classic in similar excellent condition.


There is a large history folder going back to new and the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate indicates that following manufacture it was dispatched to Rossleigh Motors in Aberdeen before being registered to its first owner, A C Thomson, in May 1961. Since this time it has only had seven further keepers, the most recent of whom owned it for 10 years prior to my purchase. I had it fully inspected via the Jaguar Enthusiasts club and it is a remarkably solid car that retains many of its original features - a fantastic "survivour car". 


It has extensive receipts for maintenance over many years and even some of the much earlier history is outlined in the large folder that shows the car has completed just under 27, 000 miles. In addition to the large folder full of history it also retains a complete genuine Jaguar period toolkit, an original owner’s handbook, and two period maintenance manuals. This is a superb original car that has been well maintained over the years and has aged very gracefully!!  



EXTERIOR

Finished in its original British Racing Green, the paint work is in lovely order and presents very well. It does have a few small marks as you would expect for a decent car that is regularly used and all panels are very straight with excellent gaps. Underneath the body, floor and chassis are extremely solid with no rot or rust at all. The usual spots of sills, crow’s feet, jacking points etc. are excellent and both the expert inspector and subsequently my local “old school” mechanic were both very complimentary and could find no signs of previous welding. The chrome work is very well preserved as you would expect from a car that has benefited from being garaged and only used in good weather and it has excellent glass all round. It sports a set of virtually new tyres and a stainless exhaust system that gives it a lovely old style “burble”. Chassis and body numbers match the 1961 records on the Heritage Certificate.



INTERIOR

The car retains its original Suede Green leather interior which is in a very nicely aged condition. The seats do have some gentle wear in places but remain very supple and in good order. The green carpets are in good condition with some wear and the original headlining is absolutely superb. It is fitted with inertia seat belts in the front and three statics in the rear as well as a fully working decent Kenwood radio cassette with removable security panel. It also has a lovely rare original matching Henlys aftermarket accessory glove box and all the wood is in lovely preserved condition - This interior really is a great place to be and it smells just right!!



MECHANICS

The engine has excellent oil pressure and runs at the correct temperature. The gearbox is the earlier Moss box (with no synchromesh on first) and the overdrive operates smoothly. The brakes and electrics all work as they should and she will easily keep up with modern traffic. The engine and gearbox are original to the car with numbers matching the 1961 factory records on the Jaguar Heritage Certificate.  



All in all, this is a lovely genuine early Mk2 Jaguar with bags of history and character, and it took me a long time to find a decent one after viewing a number of shiny glossy but ultimately disappointing cars. Genuine reason for reluctant sale, we are located in Gillingham Kent, (just a couple of minutes off Junction 4 of the M2 motorway and fifteen minutes from the Dartford Tunnel). Please contact me by message or on the details below if you would like to view or arrange for a professional inspection and I'll make sure that the kettle is on!
