FEATURES

This 1960 Jaguar Mk IX Saloon is from California and has been in storage for 19 years.

The burlwood dashboard and door panels are complete but show some cracks and chips.
The rear seats and door panels are in like-new condition and feature burlwood folding picnic tables.

NEEDS

The speedometer cable drive is defective.

This rare 1960 Jaguar Mk IX Saloon is a highly original example with an older repaint that remains in excellent condition, an original interior, and a comprehensive, recent mechanical overhaul, including a complete engine and gearbox rebuild. Jaguar Mk IX Saloons were highly regarded for their style, luxurious fittings, and high performance, thanks to Jaguar's famous, race-proven XK DOHC straight-six engine. Just over 10,000 Mk IXs were produced between 1959 and 1961; how many have survived is unknown. These examples remain highly sought after by Jaguar enthusiasts.
