1946 Jaguar 3½ litre Mk IV at No Reserve in Historics Auction

Published 10 May 2019

A 1946 Jaguar 3½ litre Mk IV is coming up at No Reserve in Historics Classic and Collectors Auction at Mercedes Benz World, Brooklands on 18^th May.

‘No Reserve’ at Historics generally means ‘expected to make less than £10,000’ so, on the face of it (pending a close look at the car), this might start a bidding battle.

Supplied originally in Ireland on 20th November 1946, this right-hand drive Mk. IV Saloon was a 1937 model put back into production after WW2, re-named ‘Jaguars’, with a 3,485cc overhead valve 6-cylinder engine giving it a top speed of 95mph. Finished in two-tone red over black and with red leather interior, this Jaguar is supplied with the Irish registration document and a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate.

Triumph TR4a IRS 1965 Historics

Also at No Reserve, this RHD 1965 Triumph TR4a IRS comes with desirable wire wheels and overdrive, underwent a transformation from white to Carmine Red in 2017, acquired a recent new Double Duck hood and sports a Mota Lita wood rim steering wheel. Hard to imagine it selling for under £10,000.

The Jaguar Mk IV's garish non-original colour scheme and non matching interior will hold the price back, but unless there are serious mechanical issues I would still expect it to exceed £10,000.

As the owner of a Rover 3.5 Litre Coupe I am encouraged by the estimate on Lot 259, but if money was no object my choice would be Lot 216, the Lagonda LG6.
