1959 Jaguar Mark 9 (MK IX) Saloon, 3.8 Liter 6 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, fairly original condition as far as I can determine, although I am not an authority on Jaguars.
This luxury car was originally titled in England; I understand from a UK loyal subject that the Queen Mother (he called her the Queen Mum) used to own one of these
1959 Mark 9 Jaguars, perhaps this one? At some point between 1986 and 1999, this right-hand drive car was imported into the United States presumably from the United Kingdom, and the next records I have indicate that new Firestone whitewall tires were purchased for the car from Coker Tire Co.
Additional work as detailed on the included receipts was done on the car in May and June, 2010 at odometer reading 69,692 (appears to be original mileage) to include: replacement fuel pumpvalve jobhead gasketignition tune up Since this work was done, the car was driven an additional 732 miles , and then parked. The odometer currently reads 70,424 miles. All of the original factory components remain
on the car, to include all the interior wood, exterior chrome and stainless steel trim. Era correct ACE raised aluminum letters/numbers license plates are also on the car currently, although the California legal plates are also included (shipped loose).
There is no battery installed in the car currently, and the engine will not turn over. The car is in need of work, to include getting it running and interior work such as the head liner and carpet which is torn in places in addition to other concerns on this antique luxury vehicle.
