Interior & Equipment
The original interior was subject to an extensive re-trim by Classic Motor Cars, Bridgnorth, with subtle upgrades such as optional CMC Vanden Plas reclining seats with head restaraints offering more lateral support, CMC vacuum operated air conditioning, central locking and period radio with Bluetooth connectivity.
Works included a complete and extensive re-trim in red hide, matching door cards, new deep pile red heritage carpets throughout with contrasting red over mats, new sound deadening layer, flawless chrome door furniture, new tan Woolcloth headling, black custom inertia reel seat belts, heated rear screen, all outstanding and unmarked.
Fully restored, re-veneered and lacquered woodwork, all interior lighting, switches, and electrics work as they were intended, all Smiths gauges refurbished and speedometer recalibrated. Power steering, woodrim 13 inch dished Mota-Lita steering wheel with matching gear knob completes this stunning luxurious interior.
Exterior
Fully restored by Classic Motor Cars, Bridgenorth from 1998 and completed November 2000. The body shell was completely stripped, shotblasted, and wax oiled throughly before being painted in gorgeous Jaguar Old English White.
The paint finish and bodywork are still outstanding today. Fitted with CMC rear arches similar specification to Vicarage MK2's, factory panel fit, shut lines, and gaps. The underside is completely painted to factory specification and recently treated to a Krown Rust Proofing treatment process to the complete underside and wheel arches.
All bright work has either been replated or replaced using quality items throughout, original Lucas lighting all around, with the exception of better performing new H4 headlights, and stainless steel windscreen wipers and arms. Triplex front screen and crystal clear PCG mildly tinted glass all around... Simply outstanding.
Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
WHEELS - Fitted with flawless Curby competition 72 spoke chrome wire wheels, Etype specification, shod with all matching excellent Pirelli Cinturato HS 205/70 R15 tyres.
BRAKES - The complete disc brake system has been completely overhauled. The brakes are exceptional, offering a reassuring feel, pulling up with ease and perfectly straight.
SUSPENSION / HANDLING - Fitted with a Dana rear differential built by GKN Automotive, Harvey Bailey Engineering handling kit, uprated panhard rod and coil spring Koni rear suspension... Superb Comfort and Handling.
Engine & Transmission
The fully detailed engine and engine bay houses the incredible CMC built Jaguar 4.2 High Torque Etype engine with a later straight port head, HIF SU carburettors with manual choke and new 5-speed Getrag gearbox.
The engine was extensively rebuilt by CMC in September 2007, along with some light recommissioning totalling £11,674 and circa 9,000 miles covered since.
On the road, she cannot fail to impress, with spirited acceleration and top speed, light power steering, confidence-inspiring road holding, and excellent brakes.
Needless to say, she starts perfectly hot or cold and maintains excellent oil pressure.
The full stainless steel double exit exhaust system keeps noise to a minimum with no resonance, and is perfect for touring. The manual all synchromesh 5-speed Getrag gearbox selects with ease, the clutch light and progressive... A thrill to drive and what a soundtrack.
Summary
Here we have a very special CMC bespoke built 1963 Jaguar MK2.
This gorgeous MK2 was sourced in the States by CMC and shipped over in 1998 for the bespoke build.
Classic Motor Cars customer Mr Sharp instructed a build to his exacting specification. The extensive bare metal restoration was completed over a two year period from January 1998 to December 1999 at a cost of £95,435 plus the cost of the donor car at £25,000.
Works include a bare shell estoration, completely restored original interior with optional upgrades, full engine, axle and differential rebuild, brand new 5 speed Getrag gearbox, new wiring loom, disc brake system, bespoke CMC vacuum air conditioning, central locking etc. totaling a staggering £120,435.
Since restoration, this stunning Jaguar has been driven just over 14,000 miles. A further £48,065 has been lavished on the car over the past 26 years, mainly by Mr Sharp who owned the car for 23 years.
The history file documents 16 fully detailed restoration stage payments to Classic Motor Cars from 1998 to 2000 for the initial restoration of £95,435 plus a further batch of invoices for servicing and upgrades totalling £48,065, 2 sets of keys, one original key that fits all exterior locks and ignition, all presented in a luxury box file.

This is an outstanding example of the mighty Jaguar MK2. Desirable and refined this rare bespoke build by noted Classic Motor Cars, Bridgenorth.
Needless to say, this gorgeous MK2 would stand proud in any collection and is one not to be missed.
Sadly, in 2013 this car suffered a very minor battery fire. Despite CMC meticulously and perfectly repairing the car, unfortunately the owners insurance company recorded a category D insurance loss against it. Never-the-less, the car was such an important vehicle to the family that it was brought back from the insurers by its owners and CMC completed repairs and returned the car to the road as good as new.
