This 1959 Jaguar MK IX is said to have been purchased new in Georgia and spent time in Missouri prior to its acquisition by the seller in 2017. The car was refurbished under previous ownership, and it is finished in two-tone burgundy. Power is from a 3.8-liter inline-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes 16″ wheels, red leather upholstery, rear-passenger picnic tables, and an Intermediate Speed Hold system. Recent service is said to include replacing the power steering pump and lines.
The car is finished in burgundy with lighter lower aLents and chrome trim. Exterior equipment includes driving lamps, fender mirrors, chrome bumpers with overriders, and taillights with separate turn-signal indicators. The seller notes swirl marks and scratches in the paint as well as pitting on the taillights and the front door handles.
Body-color 16″ wheels feature Jaguar hubcaps and polished trim rings, while older BFGoodrich Silverstone whitewall bias-ply tires are mounted at all four corners. The seller recommends replacing the tires due to age. The MK IX features four-wheel disc brakes, and recent service reportedly includes replacing the power steering pump and the high-pressure lines.
The cabin features burgundy leather upholstery on the front and rear bench seats as well as matching door panels, carpets, and floor mats. Equipment includes front and rear folding armrests, dual gloveboxes, front and rear vent windows, and a radio with a chipped button. An analog clock and folding picnic tables are mounted behind the front bench, and the car features an Intermediate Speed Hold system that can lock the transmission in second gear. The seller notes scratches and chips on the burl wood dashboard, and the Intermediate Speed Hold escutcheon is cracked.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a gear selector and a gear-position indicator, while Smiths instrumentation includes a reverse-sweep tachometer with an inset clock as well as a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 70k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter XK inline-six was factory rated at 220 horsepower. The seller recommends adjusting the choke mechanism.
Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission.
