The seller offers for sale a 1960 Jaguar MK9 sedan, equipped with a 4.2-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine and a manual 5-speed gearbox. This elegant saloon underwent a restoration six years ago, with every aspect rebuilt to a high standard, from the metalwork to the paint and interior. The result is a stunning car finished to a high level, both cosmetically and mechanically. The deep gloss paint finish highlights the car’s graceful lines, and the new interior, including all wooden components, exudes luxury. The car starts easily, runs smoothly without smoke or unwanted noises, and the gearbox operates precisely. It features several tasteful upgrades for improved drivability, including a 4.2 engine, electric power steering, and a modern 5-speed transmission. The car is rust-free, accident-free, and currently has valid technical inspection.
The Jaguar MK9 was introduced in 1958 as the brand’s flagship luxury saloon, combining elegant styling with refined performance. With its stately proportions, opulent interior, and advanced engineering for its time, the MK9 symbolized post-war British automotive excellence. Its powerful six-cylinder engine, disc brakes on all four wheels, and smooth ride made it a favourite among statesmen and film stars alike. Today, the MK9 stands as a grand touring classic, admired for its comfort, craftsmanship, and commanding road presence. A meticulously restored and tastefully upgraded example like this one represents both a collector’s showpiece and a superb driving classic.
