Synonymous with the swinging 60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired Saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its Mk. I predecessor, the immortal Mk. II was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, extensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph, small wonder that it was the first choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period!

Finished in Old English white with blue leather interior, this classic Mk 2 Jaguar has the more desirable manual gearbox and rides on wire wheels, giving a sportier appearance than the standard steel wheels. Having been repainted at some point, the car has a nice patina and presents extremely well according to the owner. The vendor reports that the car performs well and appears realistically estimated in the current market. Supplied with a file of sundry invoices this Jaguar is ready to be used just as it should be!
