The lineage of the Mk. II can be directly traced back to its
predecessor. the 2. 4 saloon or Mk. I as it would be retrospectively
known in later years. Traditional Jaguar buyers would not feel
alienated by the new offering from Coventry however. as the
interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut
being the order of the day. With 112bhp available. the 2. 4 was not
overly burdened with pace. so Jaguar's response was to come in the
shape of a 3. 4 litre version which was launched in 1957. As a
result. 120mph was a genuinely achievable pace. necessitating the
introduction of disc brakes a year later to keep speeds in check.
Rather than introduce a completely brand new car. Jaguar
successfully re-designed the car from stem to stern. and the Mk. II
was born. debuting in 1959. The chunky windscreen pillars of the
early car were replaced by slimmer offerings giving a much more
airy cabin which both improved the styling and freshened up the
design for the new decade.

Originally registered in the UK on 1st November. 1961. this
Jaguar Mk. II has been well cared for throughout its 50 years on
the road. In 1984. 5520LJ was shipped to Illinois in the U. S.
returning to the UK in 1990; the export and import papers are in
the file. together with a number of receipts/invoices during the
car's 'holiday abroad'. The current vendor purchased this Mk. II in
August 1998 from the E-Type Centre in Warwickshire and has
thoroughly enjoyed the use of this lovely car for the last 15
years. Unfortunately due to the vendor's poor health. the Jaguar
has been used little of late and he has decided it is time for
someone else to enjoy owning this delightful example. Finished in
gunmetal with red leather trim. this Jaguar is fitted with a manual
gearbox and overdrive and comes supplied with a V5 registration
document. an MoT test certificate valid until 30th July 2014 and a
comprehensive history file. A very useable iconic classic Jaguar
and. given the estimate. offered at a realistic price.
