Description
Manual
gearbox; 10 former keepers; classic white with a striking red leather interior;
accompanying the vehicle is a history file containing various
invoices.
Offered for sale is this charming
1963 Jaguar Mk2 2.4L, first registered in June 1963 and presented in classic
white with a striking red leather interior that perfectly captures the elegance
and character of a 1960s British sports saloon. Powered by the smooth 2,483cc
engine paired with a manual gearbox which incorperates overdrive, the car
delivers the traditional Jaguar driving experience that enthusiasts have admired
for decades. The car is also fitted with an overdrive.
This example has had 10 former keepers and has been in the current
ownership since April 2022. It remains an appealing example of the marque,
offering timeless styling, refined road manners and the unmistakable presence
that only a classic Jaguar can provide.
The car
underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration in the 1990s, which is supported by
valuation certificates issued shortly after the work was completed. Accompanying
the vehicle is a history file containing various invoices from over the years,
documenting maintenance and work carried out during its life. More recently, an
invoice from December 2024 (see email/invoice reference) details further work
including the rebuild of the carburettors, brakes, ignition system and related
components. These papers help to illustrate the ongoing care the car has
received and provide useful background for the next
custodian.
While on site, the vehicle has been
started, driven and brought to a stop as expected for the purposes of
photography and a short video, demonstrating that it moves under its own power.
As with any car of this age, prospective buyers should expect the character and
quirks associated with a classic vehicle of over sixty years
old.
This 1963 Jaguar Mk2 2.4L represents an
opportunity to acquire a handsome and usable classic British saloon with an
attractive colour combination, period charm and the potential to be enjoyed on
the road or further improved by its next enthusiast owner.
