The Jaguar Mk. II was built from 1959 to 1969 as a successor to
the 2. 4 and 3. 4 litre models which were manufactured between 1957
and 1959. 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. Similar in appearance but with a bigger glass
area. it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together
with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and
all-round disc rather than drum brakes. Raced by all the top
drivers of the day including Graham Hill. Roy Salvadori and Michael
Parkes. the Mk. II has scored victories throughout saloon car races
in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De
France and Monte Carlo rally.
