1961 Jaguar Mark II 3.4 Saloon - Fresh full Restoration.

This Mark II was located and purchased in Virginia Beach, and immediately shipped it to Vintage Jag Works in Blackfoot ID to be restored. It was a 4 year process to complete this Spectacular total nut-and-bolt restoration by Vintage Jag Works with over $127,000 in restoration receipts and hundreds of photographs on file.
Desirable 4-speed manual transmission, JCNA Concours quality. This car simply ranks among the absolute finest Mark IIs available anywhere on the market. More detailed information coming soon.

Shortly after completion it was consigned with us.

With purchase of this MKII the new owner will receive a binder with substantial number of restoration photos, records and receipts.

It was a complete car when he found it and believed to be original engine and drivetrain - the odometer shows 53,138 miles and it could be the actual mileage, but know way to know for certain, although it doesn't matter as the car was completely reconditioned in the restoration process.

It is a stunning example finished in beautiful Red paint wearing saddle tan Connolly leather with wilton wool carpets. This is a rare opportunity to own a freshly restored MKII and with an ask of $69,950 an excellent value.

This 1961 Jaguar Mark 2 Saloon is the recipient of a show-quality, total nut and bolt rotisserie restoration by Jag specialists. It took nearly four years to complete, finished in September of 2012, and with expert old-world craftsmanship, the finest materials, and no regard for expense, the result is nothing short of spectacular. The body was stripped to bare metal and finished in factory correct Carmen Red, the interior comprehensively redone with Biscuit hued Connelly leather interior, matching genuine Wilton wool carpets, and all new/ restored wood trim. Mechanically, the factory original matching numbers DOHC inline-6 was freshly rebuilt, new clutch installed for the desirable 4-speed manual transmission, all new restored suspension components including polyurethane bushings for improved feel, the frame fully refinished, and much more. All the trim and brightwork is either re-plated or replaced and the car rolls on chrome wire wheels wearing correct reproduction bias ply tires. Included with purchase is comprehensive and highly detailed information about the restoration with accompanying invoices that total $142,720.87, an extensive file or restoration photos, additional professionally taken "After" photos, and the Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Simply put, this mark 2 ranks among the very finest 1960s Jaguars of any model available.
