Seller's description:
SHEFFIELD, United Kingdom, previously Plainview, New York
57,000 Miles
Manual, 4 speed
Left Hand Drive (LHD)
Old English White
Chassis 674472, to LHD Special Equipment specification, was despatched to importer Hornburg of Los Angeles on the 30th December 1953, finished in the colour scheme of Cream with a Red leather and a Sand-coloured hood. The XK stayed in the United States for most of its life, later forming part of a larger Florida-based private classic car collection.
Over the years the Jaguar has been developed into a beautiful touring car, with many upgrades to improve the driving experience. The engine's block has been replaced with a more powerful 3.8 litre E-Type unit, retaining the original SE cylinder head. The engine was comprehensively rebuilt, fitted with a high output starter, fed via triple SU carburettors, and driven through a later four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox. The original mild steel exhaust was replaced by a twin stainless steel unit. To keep the car cool, an oversized aluminium radiator with electric fan has been fitted. The suspension was uprated with Koni shock absorbers, and the braking system modified with the Guy Broad front disc brake system.
Recently the interior has been trimmed in its original shade of red leather, and a new soft top fitted, with tonneau, at a cost of approximately £8, 000.
Now part of a small British car collection, in preparation for sale the car has been checked and the engine running set up correctly, with the fitting of new ignition leads and electronic ignition, tuning of the carburettors, and adjustment of the brakes.
Very nicely presented in its original colour scheme, and with welcome additions such as leather bonnet straps, a rare Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel and complete tool roll and jack, this wonderful and highly capable classic Jaguar offers both style and performance in spades.
