This auction is for a 1966 Jaguar 3.4 S-Type a true classic that has
been completely restored to its glory days.
With
well over a $45, 000 in restoration expenses
, the Jag is in great condition inside, outside, and mechanically. Only 10, 000 of these 3.4S Jags were made from 1963 –
1968, so this is a rare car indeed and way
more rare than the similar 3.8S. This was originally a Texas car. The
3.4 S-Type has been described as a MK II with a MK X rear. More “executive” than
the MK II, the 3.4S features greater seating room and headroom.
This 1966 Jag has been owned by a
non-smoker
and powered by the 3.4L engine (3442cc, 6 cylinder, twin overhead camshaft) and
5-speed manual transmission (5th
speed is overdrive). The engine is believed to be
numbers matching. The engine and
transmission were professionally rebuilt around the 23, 000 mile mark, the
carb was rebuilt in 2007. Another great feature of the 3.4S is the independent rear suspension, providing a smoother
ride than other classic Jags. The car runs on regular unleaded fuel and also
features Dual Exhaust System, Power Steering, and 4
Wheel Disc Brakes. The data plate on the car
reads as follows:
Car No. ~ P1B6864DN, Engine No. ~ 7B7801-8, Body No. ~ 487791, Gear Box No. ~ J3N8322.
The
P
prefix
on the car number indicates the car has power steering and the
DN
suffix
on the car number indicates the car has overdrive. The mileage on the
odometer shows 40, ***, and is believed to be original based upon the paperwork
and maintenance history available with the car.
EXTERIOR/INTERIOR
The car was
repainted during the USA restoration to Jaguar Carmen
Red. Prior to the paint job, the car was fully stripped and sand blasted
clean. The car was stripped, partially resanded and welded then repainted in the Czech republic. The Vredestein Sprint ST steel belted radial tires have 5, 000 miles on them and
plenty of tread left. The tires sport
Chrome
Jaguar Wire Wheels
. The trunk is lined, carpeted, clean, and holds a
spare tire with red wire wheel and tyre tool. Inside, you'll find this classic is
clean and comfortable. The red carpet and Carmen
red leather upholstery are the perfect compliment to the paint. There
are also custom Jaguar 3.4S floor mats that help finish the look. The Jag has heat, rear defogger, and fan. The walnut dash
looks sharp with no cracks or fading and there is an aftermarket JVC AM/FM
Stereo with cassette deck installed where the original radio was without any
cutting involved. New Alpine speakers were also installed behind the rear seats
and the Power Antenna also works. Another great upgrade the original owner had done was
taking the existing manual sunroof and converting it to a
custom made Power Sunroof
. What better way to
enjoy a nice driving day and some fresh air?
VEHICLE CONDITION
This
classic is in great condition and will be sure to turn heads wherever you go. Please keep in
mind you are seeing reflections and glare on the car.This restoration was
done right and spared no expense...there has been easily $45, 000 worth of
restorative work done to the car and then some. The paint job is from 2008 and still looks great, especially after a good cleaning and waxing. The car has never been in an accident. The chrome
was either new or rechromed during the USA restoration. .still looks great with
very little haze. The front bumper was rechromed in the Czech republic and is a dazzler. The wheel wells, floorboards, and undercarriage (see photos)
are clean and rust free. The inside looks excellent and is very clean. The
seats are extremely comfortable and the upholstery is practically flawless
since the restoration. Mechanically the car is great shape and
fires right up but needs a tune up from sitting in a dry workshop for the last 7 years. The brake pads have less than 5, 000 miles on them.
The only item the owner could think of was that one of the dual gas tanks
currently does not work (probably a clogged fuel line). All electronics (exterior lights, interior lights, switches on the dash, wipers, gauges, stereo, fan, etc.) are working as well, except for the clock. Everything the owner is aware of has been disclosed in pictures
and description.
I will assist with loading the car onto a trailer
and may help getting someone to transport the car to a new destination.

“This car was renovated by the previous owner in the USA and he spent a fortune on it. I bought the car in 2007 and had it shipped to the Czech republic. The interior was fine, but the body suffered from the typical USA handywork: KIT and more KIT. So I hade the car taken apart, sanded down, the kit removed and the body welded as it should be, then it was repainted and reassembled. I had the headlining done anew with SNG Barratt cloth and a new laminate headliner. New brake booster was put in and allmechanicals overhauled. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to enjoy it and it has been sitting in my garage more often than not, so it is time to sell it. So I am reluctantly selling it - I have a bunch of invoices from the previous owner and it looks as though he spent some 35000 USD on the car. I spent about 10000 USD and a lot of hours, but I have no invoices. I am listing from one USD and have set the reserve below my costs so lets see where we get.” |
