1967 Jaguar Mk2

Colour Grey

Odometer 53,823 Miles

Engine size 3442

Town Hereford

Auction DetailsSeller Type Private

Location Herefordshire

Country United Kingdom

Manual with overdrive

Excellent condition

Great history

Sliding steel sunroof

Delivered new in 1967 to Holland, the last year of Mk2 production, it was originally Opalescent Blue with a blue interior, and, left hand drive.

When it returned, and was registered in the UK in 2006, it had been restored to a high standard with a change of colour to Opalescent Grey with a black interior. During its time in the UK it has been maintained by specialists and always been garaged, enjoying regular, but light use.

Presented in very good condition this Jaguar Mk2 is going to make someone very happy indeed.

The History and Paperwork

First registered in Holland 1967

Returned to UK and registered in 2006

3 owners since return to UK

Converted to RHD

V5c present 

Many receipts for servicing and works

MOT exempt

Jack, brace and spare wheel

tool set

2 sets of keys

The current owner has kept the car garaged, well maintained and nicely fettled, but covered little mileage during his ownership.

The car underwent a bare metal re-spray prior to 2006, and has undergone continuous work since, which has included the engine being reconditioned and the cylinder head gas flowed. The brakes have been overhauled, the rear differential has been reconditioned along with a new clutch and new MWS wheels being fitted. The front suspension was also refurbished and new rear shocks added along with a new prop shaft and the overdrive also being reconditioned.

The Interior

Black leather interior

Excellent condition

Moto Lita wood steering wheel

Metal sliding sunroof 

Black carpets replaced recently

Headlining and internal fittings very good

Black door cards 

Fabulous, aged patina on leather seats

No rips or tears anywhere but small scar on driver’s seat

The seller tells us that everything functions as it should with no issues to report

Very good overall condition

The black leather interior has a fabulous, aged patina and really suits the wonderful cabin of the Mk2 with its big leather seats offering plenty of comfort and support. The burr walnut throughout the cabin is in great condition with a high lustre and all the instruments, dials and switches are working with hardly a sign of their age.

A rarely found sliding metal sunroof is a very welcome extra to this great sporting saloon and happily that slides open easily and without fuss.

Door handles and window winders along with the front and rear quarter-lights are in great shape, with good chrome and good seals. 

Converted in 2014 from left to right hand drive the interior, complete with rear picnic tables and that great classic Jaguar environment, is truly a lovely place to be.

The Exterior

Opalescent Grey

Wire wheels

Paintwork and body extremely good

External trim, badges and lights all good and clear

Very good brightwork

Windows and rubber seals all in good shape

Finished in Opalescent Grey, which still looks great after its full bare metal respray before 2006, the curvaceous Jaguar saloon looks superb from every angle, its wire wheels, imposing front and twin exhaust pipes completing the classic big cat perfectly.

The 3.4 litre grille badge at the front does need replacing but a genuine new one is included to rectify this small annoyance. The only other things to mention are a small ding in the driver’s door trim and a couple of small chips around the metal sliding sunroof.

The Mechanics

3.4 Litre straight 6

Manual with overdrive

Engine reconditioned and gas flowed

Overhauled brakes

Rear differential reconditioned

New clutch and prop shaft

Overhauled overdrive

New rear shock absorbers

Refurbished front suspension

Last fully serviced in 2019 but has covered hardly any mileage since

Owner reports that it starts well and drives with no known mechanical or other issues

This is a Mk2 that has had a lot of work done to it by its various owners to keep it in tip-top mechanical shape. The engine bay is nice and clean and it is reported to drive really well with good acceleration through the gears, a working overdrive and that very distinct Mk2 soundtrack.
