The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction
1962 Jaguar MK2 3.8
Desirable, UK supplied 3.8 with manual gearbox and overdrive
Registration - 556 DYX
Chassis No. - P208011DN
M.O.T. - April 2023
Odometer - 85,500
Back in the day, whether you were a professional bank robber or one of her majesty’s Class A police drivers whose job it was to chase them, the car you most coveted was a MK2 Jaguar with a 3.8-litre engine coupled to a manual gearbox with optional overdrive – ie the exact specification of the car offered here. Resplendent in Opalescent Bronze that’s complemented by cream hide interior trim, it is a matching numbers, home market example that was supplied new by Henly’s (London) in April 1962 to a Mr Jack Lackmaker, who retained the Jaguar for the next 34 years. It then passed in turn to a Mr Barry Sanders of Penrith and a Mr Raymond Page of Cockermouth, from whom the vendor acquired it this year.
The subject of an older restoration, it was then treated to new inner and outer sills in 2016, as well as a dose of Dinitrol. More recently: the facia has been refurbished; the front suspension rebuilt with new springs, Gaz dampers and Poly bushes; and a new battery installed. The vendor presently views the straight-six engine and four-speed gearbox as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork, paintwork and original upholstery as ‘good’, and adds that ‘556 DYX’ exhibits good oil pressure and is devoid of overheating problems. He is now selling the car complete with power steering, Reutter reclining front seats, chrome wire wheels, both standard and narrow Coombs-style rear wheel spats, Heritage Certificate and various spares, plus a current MOT valid to April 5 next year. The indicated mileage of 85,500, though not warranted, is believed to be correct.
In summary:
- A very handsome example of one of Britain’s most admired classics
- Just four owners and 85,500 miles from new
- The subject of an older restoration and recent maintenance
