1960 Jaguar 3.4 Mk2 Beacham For Sale

This car was built at the Jaguar Browns Lane factory in December 1960 and dispatched to New Zealand on the 12th June1961 to Independent Motor Sales in Wellington. The first owner was Mr A S Johnston of Hastings.
Nothing more is known of the car until it was acquired by Dr Beaching in the late 1980's. Dr Beaching, who is a medical practitioner interested in old cars, saw in particular a market for the restoration and upgrading of Jaguar cars to the highest possible standard. He purpose built a restoration facility in the large garden of hi home in the Hawks Bay region near Hastings on the North Island of New Zealand. Here he completely dismantles the cars, repairs the body shell if required (the cars being sourced in New Zealand are mostly very sound due to the good climate and the lack of use of salt on the roads) bare metal resprays the body, installs new wiring and braking systems. He also upgrades the the cars by fitting rack and pinion power steering, Getrag 5 speed manual gearbox, central locking, alternator, hazard warning lights, Halogen headlights, a complete re-trim in leather, end the interior wood re-varnished. The Jaguar XK engine is overhauled and an electric cooling fan fitted to the radiator.
When finished this car was shipped back to the UK in 1990/ 91 and sold to a Mr Blackburn.
Since the the car has had a further 3 owners before I purchased it in October 2008. The car had not been looked after very well and during the next 12 years I spent much time and money to bring the car back to Beacham standards of finish. This included a bare metal respray by Classic Coachbuilders, overhauling the front and rear suspensions, overhauling the brakes and fitting 4 pot calipers, fitting electronic ignition. The interior wood has been re-varnished. 5 new tubeless chrome wire wheels with stainless steel spokes have been fitted. More recently the car has had a new clutch, powerlock back axle overhaul and a new water pump. The engine and gearbox oils have been changed and the car is ready to go with nothing wanted.
