Jaguar Mark I 3.4

The 3.4-litre Mark I was Jaguar's sporting family saloon of the late 1950s: a monocoque shell with independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung live rear axle and an XK-derived six-cylinder engine that made it quick enough to be a force in saloon car racing. This 1959 car is finished in Cotswold Blue with a Royal Blue leather interior, and is described as having its correct engine and the manual gearbox with overdrive it was ordered with.

The car has covered 44,513 miles. Its first keeper owned it until May 1986, after which it passed through two further owners, the last of whom inherited it. The current vendor, an experienced Jaguar collector, has had it mechanically sorted, including an engine refresh.

The listing describes the bodyshell as structurally solid with good door shuts, and the interior as patinated rather than restored, so there is room for cosmetic improvement. It comes with several V5 documents dating back to the 1980s and a thick file of bills for recent work. The price is on application.
