Description of 1959 Jaguar 3.4 |
This 1959 Jaguar 3.4 is a modified vehicle with updates to the exterior, interior and drivetrain. The owner has had it for 17 years. The vehicle runs great and is mainly used for weekend drives. Vehicle Details Originally a 3.4 liter automatic Mk 1 that was up graded to a 3.8 liter XK150 engine with a 4-speed Moss gearbox with an electronic overdrive. Car runs exceptionally well. Has four wheel disc brakes. It has been repainted several years ago and interior has been refinished in vinyl on the seats. It has real good interior woodwork and smells like an old Jag should. A wonderful Italian-made Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel has been installed. Brand new Dutch made Vredestein Sprint Classic tires have been installed along with new Woodhead front shocks and sway bar bushings sourced from a Jag parts specialist. Car runs and drives great. Starts right up with no issues. They're larger displacement 3.8 L really makes a difference. It is very torquey. SU carburetors work great. Minimal rust on the underside as you can see in the pictures. Lights, windshield wipers, gauges all work. Car does not overheat or do anything it shouldn't. Gearbox is a non-synchromesh 4 speed with shifts great...you just have to relearn how to work a nonsyncromesh gearbox. Overdrive switch works great. You can cruise on the freeway and keep up with traffic easily at low engine revs. A stunning car in a wonderful shade of green. The rear trunk lid has had the "Automatic" badge removed...you can see in the pictures. Comes with a multitude of factory service manuals paperwork and brochures. |
