Gallagher, who is currently on tour with Oasis, owned the car in the 1990s and had the vehicle specially commissioned.
Originally a four-door MKII saloon, the Jaguar underwent a high-specification transformation into a convertible model by specialists Vicarage. The two-year restoration period also allowed Gallagher the opportunity to learn to drive, as he had yet to obtain a driving licence at the time.
The rear doors were removed and the front doors extended, while an electric hood and window system were added to create a fully-functioning convertible. From there, modern inertia-reel seatbelts, an electric cooling fan and an automatic gearbox transformed the Jaguar into a far more current affair.
While the car was never driven by Gallagher in the end, it was kept in professional storage for many years, as well as making an appearance in a music video for Gallagher's High Flying Birds band, driven by Doctor Who actor Matt Smith.
In 2022, the car was purchased by Jaguar Land Rover Classic, and it continued to make appearances in a number of high-profile events, including during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations with model Twiggy riding in the back.
Now for sale via Twyford Moors, the MKII Convertible remains in 'stunning' condition according to the seller.
Harry Rochez from Twyford Moors Classic Cars said: 'We're absolutely thrilled to be offering such an extraordinary car with a story as rich as its spec.
'Commissioned by Noel Gallagher at the height of Britpop and built by the renowned team at Vicarage, this MKII Convertible is more than just a classic Jaguar—it's a cultural icon. With Oasis back on tour, it feels like the perfect time for this very special piece of motoring and music history to find its next custodian.'
The Jaguar is currently available to purchase with its price released on application. However, it was last accompanied by a price of £144,950 when sold by Jaguar Land Rover Classic in 2023.
