Noel Gallagher’s One-of-a-Kind Jaguar MKII Convertible Finds a Buyer originally appeared on Autoblog.
Few classic cars flaunt British suave as well as a Jaguar. But the 1967 Jaguar MKII Convertible owned by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher takes things to the next level, thanks to its story and unique character. While Jaguar’s recent sales have struggled to keep pace in a changing market, this car reminds us of the marque’s timeless appeal. Commissioned in the 1990s by Gallagher himself, it blends the elegance of 1960s Jaguar design with tasteful rock and roll upgrades. Today, this rare convertible is under offer, with a buyer’s bid accepted and the sale moving forward.
A Rock Star’s Custom Dream Car
Back in the mid-90s, when Oasis was dominating the music scene, Gallagher decided it was time to get behind the wheel himself. Despite not having a driver's license at the time, he still craved a car tailored to his needs. So he consulted with Jaguar specialist Vicarage to transform a Jaguar MKII sedan from 1967 — the same year he was born — into a one-of-a-kind convertible. The two-year project involved removing the rear doors and lengthening the front doors, turning the four-door sedan into a sleek two-door convertible. Gallagher requested modern touches like a fully electric folding roof, power steering, electric windows, and an automatic transmission, making the car much easier and more comfortable to drive than the typical MKII. Ironically, Gallagher never took the car out for a spin himself. Instead, this wife did once in a blue moon.
Stored Away But Never Forgotten
Most of its life, this Jaguar was carefully stored away, but it still caught the public eye now and then. It appeared in a music video for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, driven by actor Matt Smith, best known for his role on Doctor Who. Then, in 2022, Jaguar Land Rover Classic acquired the car and showcased it during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, with iconic model Twiggy riding in the back seat. From music video star to royal celebration guest, these appearances helped cement the car’s status as more than just a collector’s piece, but as a British cultural icon, too.
Quintessentially British
Finished in glossy black paint with a rich red leather interior and chrome wire wheels, this Jaguar is one of the poshest cars money can buy. And thanks to its origins as a sedan, it still comfortably seats four adults along with their luggage. Noel Gallagher’s Jaguar isn’t just another low-mileage garage queen; it’s a symbol of a moment in British history, bridging ‘90s rock royalty and royal tradition. Now that it’s under offer, this one-of-a-kind MKII Convertible is ready to continue its story with a new owner who will appreciate its unique heritage.
