Seller's description:

We are very proud to offer this gorgeous 1965 Jaguar Mark 2 Saloon having had a complete, professional nut-and-bolt restoration by Lex Classics in the Netherlands! Powered by its number's matching DOHC 3.8L engine with dual exhaust pipes, it provides 220 Horsepower and stout 240 lb. ft. of torque through a Borg Warner automatic transmission with overdrive and limited slip rear axle! This special Mark 2 also had the benefit of added options including power steering and upgraded 15" chrome wire wheels. Truly a sight to see, this Mark 2 has been restored to near perfection! Included is a photo album of just how in-depth and elegant the process was of bringing such a beautiful vehicle back to its well-deserved glory!

The original engine was made new again with all fresh internals and a thorough cleaning. The carburetors rebuilt along with oil seals and all gaskets replaced. All new brake components and lines were installed. Rear axle internals were rebuilt. The body was stripped of its original Black paint and finished in a spectacular Gun Metal Gray. The exquisite interior was completely reupholstered in new Cognac Leather, refinished wood trim, and fresh weather stripping throughout. Chrome moldings, door handles, and bumpers were re-plated or replaced. New rubber mounts and new suspension parts were fitted. The exhaust system was replaced along with new taillights and headlamps. With exception to the addition of modern air conditioning components and upgraded radiator with Evans waterless cooling system, everything was tastefully redone to original Jaguar specifications. Nothing was left untouched throughout the process.

Any Jaguar enthusiast or beginning collector alike will appreciate the energy and workmanship that went into this piece of history, and how it was so meticulously restored to such a remarkable state!
