1956 JAGUAR 2.4 MKI

This 2.4-litre manual Jaguar MkI received a nut-and-bolt restoration over a 10-year period earlier on this century, and more recently has had its master and slave cylinders refurbished and its carburettors serviced. The headlining, upholstery and carpets are also fresh. In the words of the vendor, ‘it is now ready to be enjoyed’. The MkI was registered in June 1956 and now shows 21,285 miles on its odometer. Just four keepers overall are shown on the modern V5C. 

The car comes with a large history folder that includes the current V5C, the old buff logbook, two owner's handbooks, and a hefty stack of 21st century receipts, with much of it chronicling the restoration. There are MoT certificates from 1971 (when the mileage was 18,140 miles), 1993 (21,046 miles) and 2005 (21,271 miles) suggesting very limited use and that the low mileage may be genuine.
