This 1959 Jaguar Mark IX stands as one of only 4,000 left-hand drive examples crafted at Browns Lane, Coventry. The aristocratic two-tone gray and blue exterior flows across the sculpted bodywork with true British panache. A manual sunroof opens to the sky, while the proud Jaguar leaper surveys the road ahead. The stately presence continues through the fender-mounted dual mirrors, signature rear-wheel spats, and brilliant chrome appointments. The 15-inch steel wheels display bright hubcaps and .....
trim rings, fitted with 225/75R15 whitewall tires that add traditional motoring elegance.
The cabin exemplifies proper British luxury with blue leather upholstery adorning both front and rear bench seats. A magnificent walnut veneer dashboard houses proper Smiths instrumentation, featuring a 120-mph speedometer alongside a modern AutoMeter Sport-Comp tachometer. Sunpro auxiliary gauges monitor the vital functions. An Alpine CD stereo with Kenwood speakers provides musical accompaniment. The rear passengers enjoy proper fold-down tray tables - a sophisticated touch from Jaguar's luxury playbook.
American muscle meets British refinement with the L98 350ci V8, sourced from GM's 1991 lineup, mated to a GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. A Chevrolet Camaro-derived limited-slip differential with 3.73:1 gearing distributes power with authority. The sophisticated handling comes from power rack-and-pinion steering, while slotted and drilled rotors with power disc brakes deliver superb control. A single exhaust with aftermarket muffler announces this Anglo-American alliance.
