Pippa wed James Matthews, the brother of former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.
The Jaguar has only done 31,000 miles since it was made in 1960 – just 476 miles a year.
It is being sold by H&H Auctioneers on 10 September.
The sale takes place at Kelham Hall, in Newark-on-Trent, Notts, as reported on Whats The Jam.
A spokesperson said: “The car, which is estimated at £30,000 to £35,000, formed part of the wedding transport at St Mark’s Church, Englefield.

“Carrying Catherine, Princess of Wales – then Duchess of Cambridge – with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who took on the roles of page boy and bridesmaid.
“Finished in elegant Warwick Grey with red leather upholstery and walnut trim, the Jaguar presents today as still a fine example of the marque, with its interior and exterior being in excellent condition.
They added: “Despite the car being 65 years old, the odometer records just 31,000 miles from new, supported by an impressive history file and accompanying V5C.”

“In recent years, around £6,000 has been spent on mechanical attention by its current owner, including careful work to the engine, fuel system and brakes, ensuring that the car remains both highly usable and true to its period character.”
Oliver Fernyhough-Martin, junior motor car specialist at H&H Classics, said: “The Mk IX carries a wonderful sense of presence – big, elegant, and unmistakably of its era.
“Its royal wedding connection only adds to the story, but it’s also the condition, originality and low mileage that make this such a compelling example in its own right.
“The Warwick Grey paintwork paired with the red leather interior gives it a stately yet stylish air that would grace any collection – or even another wedding.”
Launched in 1959, the Mk IX was Jaguar’s answer to Bentley and Rolls-Royce – a grand saloon with a stately presence.
