Vicarage Limited has specialised in upgrading and modernising these cars since 1984. This 1962 Mk II, dramatically finished in black with burgundy hides, features beautifully restored bodywork by Pavesi in Italy. In 1991, following its cosmetic restoration, the Mk II was sent to Vicarage Limited for a complete mechanical restoration and systems upgrade.

A larger 4.2-litre XJ six-cylinder engine was mated to a new five-speed manual gearbox, allowing the driver to fully exploit the engine’s potential. A specially upgraded performance suspension was added as well, along with a set of large-diameter disc brakes. Other upgrades included power steering and a stainless-steel exhaust system, plus modern electrics including new windscreen wipers, electric window lifts and more. The total cost of the improvements reached CHF 180,000, with the impeccable results displayed here.

In short, this very satisfying MK II embodies the best that is Jaguar, retaining its classic good looks and offering many modern upgrades to enhance the driving experience of what was already an extraordinary sports sedan.
