Hello all
I have a 195? Mk1 Saloon. I'm trying to locate a service manual for it.

Its been stored for 30 years.

 

Are you sure it's a MKI?

The grille doesn't look the right shape, more like a MKVII.

 

xksunlimited sells manuals for all of the old Jaguars

 

I think you'll find that the car is a Mark IX, as it has a one-piece windscreen. Mark 1 is the compact saloon of 1955, the precursor to the Mark 2.

These big saloons started off as a Mark VII, VIIM, then an VIII, and finally the Mark IX with disc brakes. Servicing these cars is very straightforward, but frequent, as in about every 3000 miles ! Oh, and you'll need to search out your grease gun, probably now lost in the back of your toolbox. There are a lot of points to grease.

If you look carefully on the roof panel, you'll see it still has the profile at the front for a split windscreen. The heater is marginal at the best of times, by the way.

 

You haven't said whether it was in running order when it was stored; service manual or not, you must change all fluids, especially engine and brakes, and make a thorough check of mechanicals and electricals before attempting to drive, not forgetting grease points mentioned by Fraser.
It looks like a lovely car - when that gets on the road you are going to attract a lot of attention.

 

WOW, I didn't know Mark IX came with the disc brakes , that should be a major break thru or "leap forward" in that time
