Odometer 72,700 Miles

Engine size 3442

Location Devon, United Kingdom

This particular Mk2 Jaguar was produced in 1963 and from its production until 1994 when it was imported it resided in Australia.

Upon its return to UK shores the car was stripped and a comprehensive restoration was carried out.

The car then changed hands and was bought by the current owner. Since his ownership he has enjoyed many many outings to classic car shows and events such as Goodwood with a particular desire to venture to European events hence adapting the Jag with a few choice modern upgrades to make it easier to keep up with modern day traffic.

The car has been maintained regardless of cost and it truly is a beautiful machine.

The car will come with the standard V5 documentation but there is also paperwork from Jaguar heritage proving it’s authenticity.

The vehicle also benefited from a full respray some years ago and is still in more than fine fettle. There are a few minor stone chips but over all this classy jag is still looking fantastic. The Chrome wire wheels set this car off and offer a fantastic contrast to the anthracite grey paint. It really is a classic combination that works so well, stunning.

The Mechanics 

The car still sports the original 3.4 Litre and sounds very well through a stainless exhaust system, it has that classic raspy-ness to it that you just don’t hear from todays cars.

The car has been updated to make it easier to drive especially at low speeds with a hydraulic power steering system that to be fair almost looks factory in the engine bay and makes long drives so much more pleasurable.

The Mk2 Jag was also prone to overheating this has been corrected with extra cooling fans that are automatically operated off the thermostat to keep temperatures in the green.

The final modern update which makes this Mk2 Jag a cut above the rest is the fitting of a 5 Speed Manual gearbox. Due to the European trips or long road trips to events in this country the 5 speed box is an absolute game changer and probably the best addition to the car in the owners eyes. It completely changes things.
