'YMA 292F' is a right-hand drive MKII 2.4 that left the factory in 1967 and is understood to have had just three private owners from new. It is equipped with manual-transmission plus overdrive and rides on chrome wire wheels. According to the vendor, the sports saloon possesses "highly original" bodywork, "near faultless" Metallic Grey paintwork, an "amazing" semi-leather red interior, "beautiful" woodwork and "excellent original" roof lining, "all commensurate" with the indicated mileage of 61,000, which he believes but does not warrant to be correct. He regards the venerable XK engine as "as smooth and quiet as one of three-five years old" and feels it would be "difficult to find a more original MKII". Praise indeed, for what certainly appears to a very smart, original example. Though, as ever prospective purchasers are urged to inspect the Jaguar carefully before drawing their own conclusions.
