The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium sized saloon built from 1959 to
1967 as a successor to the 2. 4 and 3. 4 litre models. It was a
handsome. powerful and good handling saloon which was offered with
a choice of three six cylinder. twin cam engines; 2. 4 litre. 3. 4
litre or 3. 8 litre. After the appreciation of the MK. I. Jaguar's
successor was well received making a good car even better.
The 210bhp 3. 4 litre engine variant proved to be the most popular. br/>offering the best compromise between performance and economy.
Naturally. the performance was excellent and the 3. 8 litre Mk. II
enjoyed great success on the track and can still be a very
competitive historic race car today. Raced by all the top
drivers of the day including Graham Hill. Roy Salvadori and Michael
Parkes. the Mk. II scored victories throughout saloon car races in
the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France
and Monte Carlo rally.

This early. matching numbers. Mk. II is fitted with the
desirable 3. 8 litre engine. manual gearbox with overdrive. It is
believed to have been restored in the late 1990's. early 2000's
when the car was repainted and other mechanical work was carried
out. Within the last five years. the interior has been replaced and
the woodwork restored and re-polished. This year the vendor
has had electric power steering fitted making the car very easy and
comfortable to drive. Finished in the classic colour scheme of
black with a dark red interior. it is supplied with a V5C
registration document. an MoT test certificate which expires at the
end of February 2016. a file containing old MoT's. invoices. a JDHT
heritage certificate and magazine articles. Also supplied with the
car is the original. complete tool kit presented in the original
box. With the power steering fitted. this desirable 3. 8 litre Mk.
II. with its overdrive gearbox and classic wire wheels. is a very
usable classic and equally suited to being an every day car as well
as being the perfect machine for events and rallies.
