BNM 400C (1)
1965 Jaguar Mk.2 3.4.
H&H classic car auction, Buxton -
"Chassis Number: 169018DN
Engine Number: KJ2128
Finished in Opalescent Blue with Dark Blue leather upholstery, this particular example has reportedly been kept in a heated garage since entering the current ownership twenty years ago. Although, he notes that (a) "there is evidence of filler in the rear quarters", (b) "three jacking points are missing" and (c) "the front crows' feet are corroded", the vendor judges the bodyshell to be "basically sound". The paintwork is said to be "patchy and poorly matched in parts", while the interior trim is rated as "good / original". The car has not been driven for three years but when the engine was last run (September 2008), it is understood to have registered "30psi oil pressure at 3,000rpm". The gearbox is apparently "noisy in first and reverse gears" with the former proving "difficult to disengage on occasion". The top of the steering column has suffered from both a broken shroud and perished bush. However, the saloon is understood to have been treated to "a new petrol pipe, clutch and front brake callipers" as well as "a skimmed flywheel". Riding on steel wheels, this tempting restoration project boasts "matching engine and chassis numbers" and is offered for sale with old MOT certificate (expired June 2000), fitted luggage and sundry spares (rear spats, jacking points etc)."
Sold for £3520.
