DESCRIPTION
The Jaguar Mk VII was launched in 1950 and production carried on until the introduction of the Mk VII M in 1954. The "M' cars could be distinguished from their predecessors most easily by the horn grilles beneath the headlights. These replac vendor believes that it was damaged on the front wing. Project.
The car had a engine repair at 120,000 miles. NO MOT Ran out last year.
ed the formerly integrated auxiliary lamps which were now perched on the bumpers and slightly further from the centre of the car than before. The newer model also had wrap-around bumpers that carried on a little further along the sides of the car. Early in 1956 a Mark VII M won the Monte Carlo rally paving the way for these big Jaguar sedans to play a leading part in British saloon car racing for the next few years.
Supplied new by Hoffman's of Bradford on the 7th June 1956, this delightful Jaguar Mark VII 'M' has covered what we are told is a genuine 30,000 miles from new. A comprehensive history file including MoTs going back to 1962 and service history before that date more than confirm the extraordinary low mileage on this excellent example of what was, in 1956, Jaguar's flagship model. The current registered owner of the car has owned it since 1991, during which time the car has been cared for by the respected Jaguar Specialist, Phillips Garage of Birmingham. Furthermore, the history file contains copies of invoices for all work carried out since 1991. The car is in remarkably original condition and would make a wonderful addition to any serious Jaguar collection. Finished in Battleship Grey with a Red leather interior and sporting the three speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox, this car is in all round good, if not in some areas, exceptional condition. It is a worthy candidate to carry you in style to all the top classic car meets in 2013. This is a classic car for all the family to enjoy, and it benefits from being offered from long-term single ownership. It is sold with a current MoT and no reported faults. A serious amount of motor car for comparatively little expenditure....
