Details
This left-hand drive converted 1956 Jaguar Mark VII stands as an icon of classic automobiles. This model’s elegant design is highlighted by silver paint over a clean red leather interior. Further testament to the opulent style of Jaguar in the 1950s is the wood dash of this Mark VII.
The 3.5 liter inline-six engine is backed by an automatic transmission that was shoehorned into place by the previous owner. Dual gas tanks emphasize the continent-crossing capabilities of this luxury liner. Fitted with a skylight roof (sunroof) and Smith’s gauges, this vehicle offers a unique driving experience. This example was converted to left-hand drive by the previous owner and aside from this remains largely unmodified.
The current owner had the car repainted, reupholstered, and replaced the tires and weather stripping. The owner’s bought the car in 1995 from Jaguar Doctor of Costa Mesa, California and has owned it since. The car has been a California resident its whole life.
Included in the sale of this well preserved Jaguar is the original tool kit, owner’s manual and brochure, car cover, trip box, and tire change kit along with two original keys.
This Jaguar is available in Huntington Beach, CA as a Premium Listing on CLASSIC.COM. being sold by Robert Lewis.
