Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000 GBP

The body carries preserved period scrutineering stickers and is presented in its racing patina, while the interior has been stripped for racing. Notable features include a MotoLita steering wheel; full roll cage; foam-filled fuel tank; Smiths gauges; an Auto Meter Sport-Comp rev-counter; a partial rear seat 'delete'; simplified aluminium door cards; a fire extinguisher with external pull; a kill switch; and Ridgard and Sparco race seats with TRS and Sabelt harnesses (now out of date for competition).
The car is supplied with a large history file containing race documentation from the 1990s and 2000s; the original FIA papers from 1992; and the current valid HTP. It also comes its V5C registration document and one ignition key. Additional parts offered include magnesium alloy wheels from its 1990s racing years; a set of Minilite alloy wheels shod with Dunlop race tyres; and a set of wire wheels likewise shod with Dunlop tyres. It should be noted that the car's previous registration 'POT 38' is not included in the sale but is on retention with the DVLA and available by separate negotiation.
The car's last maintenance was carried out in May 2024 by Motorvation in Sarratt, Hertfordshire, which included new front discs and pads; new rear brake callipers and pads; an engine oil and filter change; new spark plugs; tyre fitting and balancing; and a replacement kill switch. The vendor notes that Motorvation maintained the car for track use under a shared drive agreement, although this is not documented. Representing an exciting opportunity to acquire a proven competition Jaguar with a storied past - ready for its next chapter on track - this potentially competitive Mark 2 saloon would be eligible for prestigious events such as the Goodwood Revival and many other Historic race series.
