Footnotes

Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows that this overdrive-equipped Mark 2 was originally finished in Silver Blue with dark blue leather interior. The car was supplied new via Somerset Motors and first owned by a Mrs H Gibson. Between 2003 and 2015 the Jaguar was treated to a full restoration, during which the exterior colour was changed to the current British Racing Green and the interior re-trimmed in cream hide with matching carpets (see photographs on file). Other noteworthy features include power assisted steering; Coombs spats; wire wheels (including spare); louvred bonnet; S-Type front brakes; up-rated suspension; ribbed cam covers; and Magna-Spark electronic ignition.

The current vendor acquired the Mark 2 at a UK auction in 2016, since when the engine has been professionally rebuilt. Carried out by the late Colin Groome of Newton Abbot, Devon, the rebuild included a re-bore; new pistons; and conversion to accept unleaded fuel, while the clutch was replaced at the same time. Other recent works include installing rear seat belts; replacing several brake lines; and fitting a set of new tyres in 2020 (fewer than 1,000 miles ago). Sensibly up-rated to cope with today's demanding traffic conditions, this well cared for Jaguar Mark 2 comes with a comprehensive history file dating back to 2001 and evidencing regular maintenance.
