Seller's comments about 1959' Jaguar Mk9 Mark Ix Saloon

1959 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon
Chassis no. 791558/DN
•One of 4,021 made
•Delivered new to Germany
•Full matching numbers
•Outstandingly original
•Manual/overdrive transmission
This Jaguar Mark IX was delivered new to Germany, subsequently making its way to the USA where the car spent the majority of its life with the same family (father and son) until it was sold to Mr Jens Röder, Chairman (for two periods) of the Jaguar Club of Denmark. A perfectionist and a passionate Jaguar collector all his life, Mr Röder (aged 72) spent his childhood in Britain, which gave him the opportunity to experience at first hand cars that have since become classics. From a young age he has owned several Jaguars. Mr Röder is a true gentleman, known and respected by everybody in the Scandinavian Jaguar world, and owner of this car for the last 11 years.
The Mark IX was the last of Jaguar's large saloons built with a separate chassis. A progressive development of the Mark VII, it came with the 3.8-litre XK engine, four-wheel disc brakes, and power assisted steering as standard. This car does not have automatic transmission like the majority of Mark IXs, but is one of the rare models with the manual/overdrive gearbox and separate front seats, though still with the picnic tables, etc.
Nothing has been changed on the car (it still has dynamo electrics) and it is still absolutely original. The toolkit boxes in the doors are 100% complete with the correct tools, and as such are collectors' items in themselves.
The car's engine has been completely rebuilt recently by the foremost specialist in Denmark, Bernt Hansen, the only authorised Rolls-Royce and Bentley workshop and, of course, an authorised Jaguar workshop for 40 years (invoice on file). The Jaguar is registered to the vendor on historic Danish numberplates, while the roadworthiness certificate is valid for the next several years.
The car's history is fully documented in the accompanying file, which contains a JDHT Certificate, original handbook, spare parts catalogue, original brochure, numerous invoices, and a photographic record of the works carried out.
