Description

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre on Saturday the 7th of December, Warwickshire Event Centre, CV31 1XN.
A perfect blend of style, performance and rarity, only 372 RHD examples of these elegant pillarless coupés were built, all with automatic transmission as a manual gearbox was not an option
This Series II is powered by Jaguar's 5. 3-litre, fuel-injected V12 generating 285bhp at 5750rpm which was sufficient to propel the independently sprung coupé to 60mph in 7. 2 seconds and on to 150mph
Comprehensively restored over the years commencing in 1991 and completed around 2009 with a detailed photographic record
Our Jaguar enthusiast, engineer vendor often wondered what his sleek, Squadron Blue Coupé would be like with the more sporty manual gearbox and decided one day, having carried out a similar conversion on his XJS, that's what he wanted to do
 A four-speed manual gearbox from an XJS was sourced and installed with the whole process aided by our vendor's experience of a similar conversion and the car is now quicker and more enjoyable to hustle down country roads without the inevitable frustrations of a, slow to respond, automatic box
Its unique appeal resulted in magazine articles and significantly, OBD 764P is featured in Jaguar XJ Series Saloons by Mark Sutherland (Foreword by Quentin Wilson) with images shot at Wappenbury Hall, former home of Sir William Lyons
Finished in Squadron Blue with a black Everfflex over a gently patinated tan leather interior with 'Kent' alloys
Supplied with its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a copy of Mark Sutherland's book, the restoration photographic record, its V5C, many older invoices and items of correspondence
