Shannons’ spring auction in Sydney sees a couple of classic big cats that it expects to fetch big money.
A 1965 Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Couple which has been owned by two fastidious owners for the past three decades, complete with an authenticity certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust.
The 4.2-litre Jag was sold new by Brysons of Sydney, delivered in opalescent sand beige with light tan leather trim. It’s since had a dark blue respray, and recently had its engine, clutch, brakes and rear suspension overhauled.
When it goes under the hammer at the November 9 auction, Shannons’ estimates a sale between $100,000 and $130,000.
Another special Jag on offer is a no reserve ‘old English white’ XK140 Fixed Head Coupe. It had its 3.4-litre DOHC engine rebuilt and a full cosmetic restoration around 2000 – and its owner says it has only clocked up 1000 mile since then.
A similar XK140 sold at Shannons’ Melbourne spring auction for $125,000.
