Estimate: £16,000 - £20,000*

Reg No: KUD 600D MOT: August 2023

Chassis No: 234791DN

‘KUD 600D’ is a 3.8 Litre Jaguar MkII Saloon that was first registered on the 1st of November 1966. Finished in a Metallic Dark Blue with a Black leather interior, this car is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and overdrive. Having been owned by the previous owner’s family from 1995 to 2022, this MkII has been the subject of much expenditure by the current and previous custodians. While under the ownership of a Mr Lazarowicz, the car completed a major overhaul by Southern Classics in July 1993, costing £8,395 and had a stainless steel exhaust fitted at a cost of £732. In 1994 it received a complete respray in Metallic Dark Blue.

The previous owners have upgraded the car with XJ6 power steering, a Kenlowe fan, larger carburettors, a louvered bonnet, upgraded front & rear brakes, and a fuel catalyst conversion. It has an older refurbished Black leather interior, a Moto Lita wooden steering wheel, a stainless steel exhaust and knock-off wire wheels. Over the last 12 months, a further £8,500 has been lavished on engine and brake overhauls. It comes with a sheaf of invoices, correspondence, old V5s, MOTs and tax discs, a full photographic record of the engine, brake and body overhaul, a tool kit and original workshop & maintenance manuals. As the car has mostly been kept in storage for the last twelve months, it may require some light recommissioning before use.

Chassis No: VF1112800G0500959

Notable as Renault’s first front-wheel drive family car and the world’s first mass-produced hatchback, the 4 debuted in 1961. Intended to appeal to city dwellers and farmers alike, the newcomer prioritised function over form. Based around a platform chassis with separate body, all-round independent suspension and rack and pinion steering, the Renault proved easy to work on and cheap to maintain. Comfortably faster than the similarly utilitarian Citroen 2CV, the 4 evolved through L and GTL variants and could also be specified in Convertible (Plein Air) and Van (Fourgonnette) guises. Arriving in 1978, the 4 GTL boasted an 1108cc engine, Grey front grille, Grey bumpers and Grey plastic side strakes plus (from 1983 onwards) front disc brakes.

Initially supplied by Clifton Garage of York, ‘C132 KBT’ is understood to have been off the road for many years before being recommissioned in 2021. As such, the seller is confident that the current odometer reading - c.41,800 miles - represents the total covered from new. Pleasingly retaining its original interior, the Renault boasts such luxuries as a Blaupunkt Hamburg push-button radio and heated rear windscreen. A rare survivor, especially in right-hand drive, the 4 started readily upon inspection. Offered for sale with V5C registration document, original book pack (including stamped service book) and MOT certificate valid until October 2023.
