Two-time JCNA National 100-point score
Photo-documented restoration
Offered with original books and tools

The Mark 2 3.8 Saloon offered here is, in all likelihood, one of the finest remaining, as it has been restored to exhaustive standards, which is seldom seen on this model. Its photo-documented restoration led to a perfect 100-point score in the Jaguar Club of North America's national competition two times. The body is finished in elegant Regency Red over tan leather; the interior is fitted with period air conditioning and acres of spectacular hides and walnut; and the chrome wire wheels are shod with wide whitewall tires. Needless to say, the car is accompanied by copies of its JCNA judging sheets, which document its scores, and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, which confirms that it is matching numbers.

This Mark 2 is an example of an exceptional, jewel-like restoration on a car that is rarely seen brought to this level of concours condition, making it an ideal vehicle for the Jaguar aficionado who seeks to add an outstanding saloon to their collection. It is comfortable, fast, and beautiful, and even though half the trunk is already filled with trophies, there is still room for plenty more
