Project Coombs - 1961 Jaguar Mk 2 Sedan Restoration Project: Episode 2
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this episode, we walk through the evaluation, the first real step in the restoration process. With the assistance of one of Ragtops & Roadsters' in-house Jaguar specialists, the team explores the good, the bad and the ugly of our subject vehicle, we examine the Mk 2 with a critical eye to determine its worthiness as a restoration candidate.
The walk-around starts with the body, where we examine the overall condition of the shell and panels for rust, damage and previous repair work. We also discuss the special Webasto sunroof.
Inside we go over the condition of the wood veneers, the upholstery and all the accessory features including equipment like the tool kit. Finally, we go under the hood to discuss the mechanical condition and potential work required.

Great show. Wonderful quality in presentation.
Just purchased a mk2 will be watching everything from a to z. Thanks 😊
keep these coming! looking forward to seeing how this project progresses
Wow, a Packard in the background. Not what I was expecting
61 did not have a 4 speed syncro, that was later that one had a non syscro on first I believe. It had a 4 speed Moss box, no syncro on first. Obviously you know the cam covers should not be black.
Interesting project! I'm pretty sure Jaguar also offered a 2.5 Litre variant of the MK2.

2.4, 3.4 & 3.8, although the 2.4 was a bit of a poverty special. It looked almost identical to the others but didn't have leather and was a bit slow in comparison.

This is a very late response to your comment. Jaguar used its Daimler marque to power the Mk2 body with a 2.5 V8. It's a very fine motor and the car has the usual Daimler interior refinements. I like the look of this project, but the videos seem slow in coming.
A 61 jag mk 2 had a moss box crash 1st gear not syncro
Powder coat the exhaust manifolds? I don't think so !
Coombs should be pronounced "combs." John Coombs modified a handful of Mark 2s in the sixties, no more. Some had modified rear wheel arches, with a piece of copper or brass tubing installed in the channel for the spat weatherstrip. The tubing was lead-loaded and painted body color. These cars did not have detachable spats. So-called "Coombs" spats are indeed narrower than the original factory ones but these are a latter-day invention, not used by any of the original Coombs-modified cars. A genuine Coombs Mark 2 is worth a fortune today but they are exceedingly rare. There are many so-called "Coombs spec" cars around today but these often bear little resemblance to the ones actually modified by the Coombs shop back in the sixties.

keep the steelies! wires are OTT these days. ...too reminicent of those atrocious looking mid 80's wannabe chrysler wire hubcabs. boo!
'All synchromesh on all 4'!! Judging by the gear knob the gearbox is a Moss so it has a straight cut no synchromesh1st and reverse gear! Do your research! I'm so fed up of so called Jaguar experts in the USA that know nothing about Jags! 😂
