1963 JAGUAR MK II saloon for sale to high bid. To all JAGUAR enthusiasts ..this car has an extremely rare option..it's one of only 100 ...please read on for details. I've been restoring this car for over 5 years . It is an ALL NUMBERS matching right hand drive car imported to the states by the second owner, an American Airlines pilot. I purchased the car from him (in Texas ) about 6 years ago . While having the motor totally rebuilt, by one of the best in the biz, Jim Forehead of Mr.Sports Car.inc, Jim brought it to my attention that there was something unusual about the motor..the new timing chain was too short and there were two hydrolic (oil fed ) tensioners instead of the normal (one hydrolic and one block tensioner) We contacted the supreme Jaguar authority, Walt Osborn and the crew at Vintage Jag Works in Blackfoot Idaho. Walt confirmed that this was indeed a rare bird..or cat! He had never seen one but had heard they existed ..and suggested the car might be worth 5 times a normal MK2.Walt then supplied a custom made timing chain and the build was completed. The factory offers no explanation , but it is rumored that these were Jaguar racing D motors I know of 2 other MK2's with this motor ..one is in New Zealand Please see.. www.IKmusic.co.nz./jag.htm ..he documents his Jag very well and has knowledge of another one in Sweden. Enough bout that..all in all its just a MK2. 3.4 See picks for engine details. The restoration is not complete , however the car is on the road and inspected in New York. I will list the things that still need to be done, or are not functional . The tack an speedometer are not hooked up..oil pressure gauge needs a sender..heater is a rebuilt unit from Jagaru (florida), but hoses and plumbing not yet installed.. have all original pieces..The car is a 4 speed /w overdrive, but overdrive not working (needs the switch on trans). ..and gas tank needs flushing ..(car currently runs on tank in trunk) All brakes , lines.. calipers.. rotors ..masters..except rear rotors and calipers are new or rebuilt..new pads ..rebuilt generator. Seats are new done in burgandy leather..(by Pirate upholstery..exellent!!) headliner is original. Currently the car is running rich , but still moves well ..Im waiting to get it in the shop for tuning.Also have reciepts.. original brochers..manuals.. parts books ..AND original ENGLISH PLATES assigned to the car! Please check out the pictures and e-mail with any questions. I would prefer interested parties look at the car or have it inspected by a reputable appraiser. Please dont bid if you cant pay. e-mail for my phone # if you want to talk it over..car is located on Long Island N.Y. CHEERS! ** would concider a trade for class A motorhome of equal value**On Mar-11-11 at 13:58:17 PST, seller added the following information: Friday March 11th ...BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!! The sun has come out on Long Island!! Fired the Jaguar up today after the long winter..hasnt been started since November or so .Started right up ..running very well...Have had lots of questions..1) paint ..painted last summer locally ..looks good , not perfect. I didnt think the color was quite right ..a bit too much metallics...if I dont sell I will repaint. 2).Body ..was sanded...primed and sealed before paint..but no body work was preformed..its the way I got it. 3)Undercarrige ..looks very clean with exception of outriggers.. fronts are worst , and I have new outriggers (jack points) that come with the car..also have original tripod jack that came with the car, and many parts and such not mentioned in auction.
