It featured a revolutionary unitary body and an advanced suspension system mated to a range of potent engines. Famous for its handling and stability, the MK1 also offered a lavish interior experience, borrowing the leatherandveneer luxury typically reserved for Jaguar's highend sports models.Defined by its iconic silhouette, featuring rearwheel spats, slim windows, and a curvaceous tail, the MK1 served as the predecessor to the MK2. However, this exceptional 1956 model, modified by a lifelong Jaguar aficionado, holds its own against its more famous successor, offering a charm that many may find rather appealing.Coming to market from 10 years with our vendor and presented in striking 'Clarendon Blue' over a grey leather interior, this robust and wellmaintained MK1 boasts an impressive history. While it underwent an undocumented restoration in the past, its true value lies in the £50,000+ invested in comprehensive renovations since 2017.Fitted with a fully rebuilt 3.4litre XK engine paired with a smooth Toyota 5speed manual gearbox, it also has renewed suspension and the addition of front disc brakes for improved safety and handling. Also having a beautifully restored cabin that retains its classic Jaguar charm, it also offers several practical modern upgrades.This magazine featured car also comes with 12 months MOT, its official Heritage Certificate, and three sets of keys. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and more detailed description of this vehicle on our website, which will answer all of your burning questions.
