Vehicle Description
This 1959 Jaguar Mark IX stands as one of only 4,000 left-hand
drive examples crafted at Browns Lane, Coventry. The aristocratic
two-tone gray and blue exterior flows across the sculpted bodywork
with true British panache. A manual sunroof opens to the sky, while
the proud Jaguar leaper surveys the road ahead. The stately
presence continues through the fender-mounted dual mirrors,
signature rear-wheel spats, and brilliant chrome appointments. The
15-inch steel wheels display bright hubcaps and trim rings, fitted
with 225/75R15 whitewall tires that add traditional motoring
elegance.
The cabin exemplifies proper British luxury with blue leather
upholstery adorning both front and rear bench seats. A magnificent
walnut veneer dashboard houses proper Smiths instrumentation,
featuring a 120-mph speedometer alongside a modern AutoMeter
Sport-Comp tachometer. Sunpro auxiliary gauges monitor the vital
functions. An Alpine CD stereo with Kenwood speakers provides
musical accompaniment. The rear passengers enjoy proper fold-down
tray tables - a sophisticated touch from Jaguar's luxury
playbook.
American muscle meets British refinement with the L98 350ci V8,
sourced from GM's 1991 lineup, mated to a GM 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission. A Chevrolet Camaro-derived limited-slip
differential with 3.73:1 gearing distributes power with authority.
The sophisticated handling comes from power rack-and-pinion
steering, while slotted and drilled rotors with power disc brakes
deliver superb control. A single exhaust with aftermarket muffler
announces this Anglo-American alliance.
