Beschreibung
The car underwent an older renovation, believed to have been carried out sometime in the early 1980s. Its last recorded inspection was in 1986, after which it remained stored in the previous owner's garage until being purchased by the current owner in 2024.
The odometer currently reads 113,559 km, which is believed to be genuine considering the car spent almost 40 years in storage, although this has not been verified. Earlier documentation is not currently included, but the owner is attempting to obtain it.
Bodywork and Exterior
Overall, the Jaguar presents well for an older restoration. There are some paint blisters and areas of cracked paintwork, along with slight differences in paint shade on the driver's and passenger's doors. The car is currently fitted with aftermarket alloy wheels, which are perhaps not the first choice for a traditional Jaguar enthusiast. The original-style steel wheels are included with hubcaps. These cosmetic imperfections could be addressed gradually over time without necessarily preventing the car from being enjoyed.
Engine, Gearbox and Driving Assessment
The current owner's original intention was to recommission the Jaguar and enjoy it as a summer classic. The car has been driven around his business premises and starts, runs and drives, although it requires some warming up. The gearbox appears to function correctly, but the engine and braking system require a thorough service and mechanical inspection. There is also old fuel in the tank, which should be replaced. Having spent almost 40 years in storage, the car would benefit from a general mechanical recommissioning before returning to regular road use.
Interior
The interior is generally clean and tidy, with no major standout issues noted. The leather upholstery would benefit from conditioning and general reconditioning to improve its appearance and preserve its condition. The varnish on the wooden interior trim has started to flake in places and would benefit from refurbishment. Overall, the interior remains presentable and provides a good basis for further improvement.
Underbody
The underbody shows signs of previous repairs, along with some surface rust in places, mainly around the lower edges of the inner wings. Overall, it appears reasonably solid for a car of this age, although these areas should be inspected and addressed as necessary.
Overall Assessment
A rare Swedish-sold Jaguar Mark X 3.8 with an interesting ownership history, having spent an impressive 48 years with its previous owner.
The car presents well as an older renovation and offers a good starting point for an enthusiast looking to return one of these impressive British luxury saloons to the road. The main priority would be a thorough mechanical inspection, full service and attention to the braking system before presenting the car for its next and final inspection. The cosmetic imperfections could be improved gradually over time.
With some mechanical knowledge and a little effort, this could be a rewarding and relatively straightforward recommissioning project, offering the opportunity to enjoy a rare and increasingly uncommon classic Jaguar.

Zustand technisch
The car starts easily, although the engine needs a few minutes to warm up properly. Once warm, it runs ok, and the automatic gearbox operates smoothly. The brakes are functioning but feel soft and require a thorough inspection and overhaul.
Essentially, the car needs a general mechanical review, including engine and brake servicing, draining the old fuel and basic maintenance before being presented for its final inspection.
The fitted alloy wheels are in good condition but have older tyres. An additional set of steel wheels with tyres is also included. -
Zustand Interieur
Interior is in good overall condition, featuring red leather seats and matching trim. All seats are well preserved with no noticeable damage, although the leather would benefit from conditioning. The original interior features and fittings remain intact, including the fold-down rear picnic tables.
The wooden trim is generally in good condition, although the varnish has started to flake in places. The original instruments and gauges are present, while the headliner and carpets are also in good condition, with only minor wear to the rear carpets around the centre console. -
Zustand Exterieur
A presentable car with an older restoration, showing some minor paint blistering around the windscreen, along the upper edges of the front wings and around the rear window, as well as a few areas along the sills. The paintwork is generally clean and bright, although there are slight differences in colour shade on the driver's and passenger's doors.
The chromework is bright and well presented throughout, with no noticeable dents or damage to the bodywork.
The underbody appears reasonably solid, with visible signs of older repairs. Some rust is present around the lower edges of the wheel arches, along with surface rust in various areas. Please refer to the photographs for a closer look at these imperfections. -
Zustand gesamt
An ideal winter project for a Jaguar enthusiast looking for something enjoyable to work on. With some mechanical attention, it appears relatively straightforward to get the car back on the road and through its final inspection. The cosmetic imperfections can be addressed gradually over time, making this a rewarding project and a wonderful classic summer car for its next owner.
