So it's a Jaguar Mark.II, right? |

It’s probably KAN169, there aren’t that many left, but the view isn’t that good. |

KAN 169 auction info - "Chassis No. S900939 .. built in March 1956 and registered in Ilford, Essex on 19 April 1956 by Henley's. It had a change of address to Worthing, Sussex 20th October 1958. It was then bought by the second owner on 16th August 1971 from a dealer in Sunbury-on-Thames. The car was in regular use until about May/June 1975, when the car failed an MOT test on the front suspension and steering joints. By this time the mileage was 36,980. The car was then stored in a leaky garage and fell into a sorry state. The third owner bought the car from his father on 1 February 1989, and restored it by June 1990 when the car had its first MOT test since 1975. This restoration was featured by Jaguar Enthusiast Magazine between June and October 1990 and won many concours competitions, driven to many rallies around Europe and featured in Country Living by Frank Page in 1991, Jaguar Quarterly June 1992, Classic and Sport Car November 1994 and Classic Cars July 1994. In 1999, the cylinder head was converted to unleaded fuel and the manual gearbox was fitted with an overdrive unit. In 2012, this Jaguar was purchased by a company specialising in renting vehicles for film and TV productions specifically to be the hero car in the Inspector Morse pre-sequel ‘Endeavour’ and has featured in every episode of the five series; The car is the 939th built of a total production of 19,992 units between September 1955 and September 1959 and could be one of earliest 2.4 Saloons still in road-worthy condition.". Endeavour sighting. |
