Introduction
Glyn Parry
The Jaguar Mk2... Grace, Space, Pace as Sir Williams Lyons' mantra goes. Famous for its use by cops and robbers alike, a popular British classic.
This MK2 Jaguar from 1962 comes with all the right features; manual gearbox with overdrive, 3.8L straight six, power steering fitted - there really is a lot to love about this car.
Coming out of 15 years of ownership, and just one owner before that, this car was fully restored by the vendor around 12 years ago. It still has its good looks to this day, winning first prize at a classic car show in Blenheim Palace 3 years ago.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Les the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I think time should have been extended by 2mins for last minute bids. It could have gone higher for your client. No time to rebid
@Barnfather – yes we extend it by 1 minute if bid placed within the last minute. So it gives people a min of 1 min and max of 2 mins to place their next bid. It’s a balancing act as if we extend it further then auctions could run for a very long time. We do encourage people not to leave to last minute as we’re not like eBay and there’s no sniping. Thanks for bidding and supporting us 🙂
Quite strange no other bid was showing when the clock reached zero.
It may be an idea to get your real tile bidding checked into as the other bid never showed.
It wasn’t until I checked my emails that’s a higher bid has been place.
I’m not a bad looser but I was watching it constantly and no bid showed.
Good morning @barnfather – I’ve just looked into this as we haven’t had a report of that since we started 3 years ago and was worried about it. We are always online at the end of the auction to make sure things go smoothly and I saw the last minute bid go in straight away and auction extended dynamically and updates shown. However, I think I may know what happened to you – your bid was placed 7hrs 20mins before auction end at 11.40am. If your browser was left open and not refreshed at any time or nearer the auction end then it may have lost connection with us, meaning the updates on the auction wouldn’t be shown for you. It’s a shame but we’ll keep you updated with any other MKII that look just as good as Les’. All the best Adam
RESERVE NOW MET – This car will sell to the highest bidder this evening, good luck with the bidding! Best, Kulraj
Hi. Does this car have power steering or am I being thick and have missed where it says so……..
Cheers

Power steering fitted, we mentioned it in the introduction :). Best, Kulraj
Hello
Are there any non-standard modifications apart from the engine, LED lights and PAS?
Is there any documentation and/or trophy that comes with the car to certify the Blenheim Palace classic car show 1st prize? Can you confirm exactly which show, year and category it was please?
Thanks.
Hi, no other non-standard things then what you have mentioned above. I have sent Trade Classics the pictures of the awards, I can’t remember exactly what category award it won at Blenheim but have the show it was at. Thanks, Les
Thanks Les. Is it running an alternator or dynamo please?
Hi Mark, we’ve added a picture of the Blenheim show that Les took the car to and won an award. Also, the car was a winner at the “Woodcote Rally” in 2017
I gather from the information given it’s not matching numbers. Can you tell me what numbers aren’t matching.
Also is there jaguar specialist near you you can recommend you do an independent inspection. If not I’d like to send someone from. classic Cars in Bridgnorth.
Can you please advise.
Richard.
Hi Richard that’s right. As per the write-up, the engine has been changed and so this is not a matching numbers example. The car is located in Reading, so if your contacts at Bridgnorth are ok with travelling down then it’s something we can help arrange, give us a call on Monday to discuss. Best, Kulraj
