Lot 459
Fastidiously restored and totally correct, a new chapter in NAN 175s compelling life story awaits.Distributed via Henlys to R. P. Powell Motors Limited of Forest Gate, East LondonDelivered to first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea on 20/03/1958Just three recorded owners since, including one single ownership for some 45 yearsOffered for sale by the family of prominent Jaguar collector and historic racer, the late David HamRetaining original cylinder block and gearbox, and accompanied by original cylinder headExtensively restored, including £8,500 respray and full engine rebuild with Rob Beere fast-road specification cylinder headAccompanied by its JDHT Certificate and current and buff logbooksUnveiled at the 1955 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the Jaguar Mark 1, then referred to simply as the 2.4 litre Saloon, marked a new departure for Jaguar, both in mechanical and philosophical terms. The first production Jaguar to feature a monocoque chassis, it was powered by a new de-stroked version of Jaguar’s highly successful 3.4-litre XK engine, which had already scored three Le Mans wins in five years and had proved central to the success of the company’s sporting XK120 and XK140 models.Noticeably more compact and agile than the contemporary yet somewhat confusingly-designated Mark 7 saloon, it aimed to access new markets on both sides of the Atlantic by positioning itself as a highly affordable family car, at just £1,442 including taxes, which offered spirited performance. During the next four years, over 37,000 examples were built, of which just over half were 2.4-litre variants similar to that offered here.Originally distributed by Henlys of London to Jaguar agents R. P. Powell Motors Ltd. of Forest Gate, East London, this particular example was delivered to its first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea of Upminster, Essex on 20 March 1958. Finished in the timeless Jaguar colour combination of British Racing Green with Tan leather interior, the car was completed to Special Equipment specification and boasted the superior and very welcome four-wheel disc brake option afforded to later Mark 1s, in place of the four-wheel drums fitted to early series examples.Dr. McCrea kept the car for a little over three years, before selling it to near neighbour Ronald Waitworth of Purfleet, Essex in April 1961. Mr. Waitworth retained the car a further seven years, before ownership passed to Nicholas Mackenzie of Queen’s Gate, London SW7 in March 1968. Remarkably, Mr. Mackenzie kept the car for the next 45 years, its occasional use and later long-term storage accounting for its remarkably low mileage of just over 74,000 when offered for sale in 2013.At this point, NAN 175 was acquired by prominent historic racer, the late David Ham, to join his collection of other significant Jaguars, including his treasured Lister-Jaguar, coincidentally a car of the same year of manufacture, and one which he too had owned for some 45 years. Having been looking for “the right” Mark 1 for some time, he reasoned that NAN 175’s highly original condition, short ownership chain and comparatively low mileage were all decisive factors in its purchase.Unsurprisingly, significant signs of ageing, both bodily and mechanically, had begun to emerge by the time the car had entered its seventh decade, and consequently Mr Ham and his loyal part-time mechanic embarked upon a comprehensive restoration. Mercifully, Mr Mackenzie’s sympathetic ownership had ensured that, unlike with so many other Jaguar saloons, nothing had been done to disguise or conceal the areas of corrosion, which made diagnosis of the problem areas refreshingly straightforward. Subsequently, extensive repairs were made to several of the Mark 1’s known areas of weakness, including the rear spring hangers, jacking points, sills, footwells, front wheel arches, front head and sidelight surrounds and the front strengthening brackets (also known as ‘crow’s feet’).Mechanically, the car had been well preserved, although it was considered prudent to rebuild the engine whilst removed from the car to facilitate the body repairs. A complete bottom end overhaul, including a cylinder block skim and re-bore, was carried out by marque specialist, Martin Adams, at a cost of £2,264. During the course of the engine strip down, some localised heat damage was identified to the original cylinder head and it was decided for both originality and economic reasons that the original item would be preserved and a replacement sourced. Consequently, a Rob Beere Racing-built, polished and ported ‘B-series’ cylinder head with SU carburettors was procured from M & C Wilkinson at a cost of some £1,800, this being fitted to the newly built bottom end prior to its reinstallation in the car. It should be stressed that the original cylinder head accompanies the sale.Once the body repairs had been effected, a bare metal respray was carried out by Retford Autofinishers at a cost of some £8,500, which included further metalwork repairs to the base of all four doors, and refurbishment of the car’s distinctive rear spats. Further areas of expenditure included the fitment of a new brake servo, refurbishment of all four brake calipers and the restoration of the car’s original radiator with modern high-efficiency core by Anglia Radiators; the latter at a cost of some £500 alone.Sadly, Mr. Ham passed away in early 2016, and whilst he did see the car taxed and roadworthy, there remain a small handful of outstanding jobs which require completing before full restoration “sign off” can truly be achieved. These include the fitting of a new set of interior carpets, calibration of the manual choke mechanism, troubleshooting of the ancillary electrical systems and fine tuning of the engine and newly-rebuilt SU carburettors, the latter ideally being performed on a rolling road.Often overlooked, somewhat unjustly, in light of its successor the Mark 2, it is noteworthy that the Mark 1 saloon tips the scales almost 200 kilograms lighter than its younger counterpart, and offers superior rarity value given that almost 84,000 of the later model were constructed. Evoking a vintage and hand-built feel on account of its more intimate interior, smaller glass area and relatively restrained use of chromework, not for nothing has the earlier car been referred to as a “four-door XK”.Perhaps best characterised as a car where the vast majority of the restoration “hard yards” have already been covered and, crucially, the myriad of Jaguar body restoration pitfalls circumnavigated, this highly correct and original example has been restored to its last-named owner’s exacting standards, and is ready for final commissioning to the new owner’s personal preferences. Eminently usable and extremely versatile, a new chapter in NAN 175’s compelling life story awaits.
