Vehicle Description
We are pleased to present this 1961 Jaguar Mark IX. This four-door
luxury saloon car was popular among British Commonwealth countries
to use as motorcade cars for foreign dignitaries and by the Queen
herself as a state car. This piece of British history has its
original 3.8L Straight 6 cylinder power plant connected to the
original Borg Warner 3 speed automatic transmission. The Mark IX
was the first production Jaguar to offer four-wheel servo-assisted
Dunlop disc brakes and recirculating ball power steering. The
automatic transmission versions had the electromagnetic valve that
maintained brake pressure at rest when the brake pedal was released
to prevent the Jaguar from rolling back on hills. Jaguar called
this feature Anti-Creep. The sunroof AKA the Sunshine Roof was
standard and the interior was luxurious, with extensive use of
leather, burled walnut. The original burgundy leather seats are in
great shape considering it's 50 plus years old. There are a few
minor wrinkles in the headliner. The carpet is in good shape with
some wear around the edges but no rips or tears. The door panels
look great and the burled walnut dash looks good. In the last three
years the fuel system, brake system and transmission have all been
rebuilt or replaced and the engine completely serviced (all
documented). The exterior was repainted several years ago and is of
drivers quality with some minor cracking and blemishes. We can
arrange shipping to your location. If you have any questions,
