Equipment
Overdrive 4-speed, chrome wire wheels, Pirelli tires, modern air conditioning, Hella headlights, Cibie driving lights, 4-spoke wood-rim steering wheel, power steering, AM/FM radio.
Condition
Restored in the UK, completed in 2006. Excellent paint and panel fit, good chrome and glass, beautiful wood interior. Right front seat shrunken by the sun. Chrome wire wheels look new. Air conditioning squeezed in, radiator header tank is battered. No rear fender skirts, like period racing cars. Jaguar Mk 2 upgrades are accepted now, like Vintage Bentleys and this is a desirable package with full records.
Market commentary
Said to have covered only about the 821 miles showing on its odometer since it was completed, desirably equipped including air conditioning, but not upgraded with the handling packages that make Mk 2s even better driving cars. The Biltmore bidders paid like it was, though, a superior price even for a superior Mk 2 like this.
