After over 30 years of ownership, we are selling our 1948 3.5L Saloon. We now have two black Classic Era sedans in the garage; we are going to replace the MK IV with a different Jaguar. Our car drives like a dream on smooth roads but has some rattles and clunks over the bumps. She also has some leaks…no surprise. But we have taken her on a CCCA CARavan and several other tours. Heritage Certificate confirming original colors and numbers.
Work completed during restoration includes New king pins, rebuilt all shocks (by Apple Hydraulics), Dissembled, cleaned and greased all leaf springs, new brakes shoes
Front and rear grease seals, valve job, Solid state fuel pumps, rebuilt carbs, rebuilt water pump, rebuilt starter, rebuilt generator, rewire chassis (entire harness when repainting the car, except instrument panel), recored radiator and replaced hoses, Removed and refinished all interior woodwork, new door panels, carpet, headliner (original seats in good condition) and recently flocked tool kit, with most tools.
Car was completed repainted about 20 years ago. Minor bubbles at wing lights, the remainder of the paint looks perfect.
