For many the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MKII was introduced in 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its super sleek shape clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK dohc straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MKII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil and wishbone independent front suspension, a Salisbury rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the range-topping 3.8 boasted nearly seven times the horsepower of a Mini 850cc! Blessed with one of the all time great automotive interiors, its stylish instrumentation, rich wood veneers and sumptuous leather upholstery all conspired to cosset and cocoon occupants.
Finished in burgundy with magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in very good overall condition with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. To right-hand drive specification, it was apparently "imported from New Zealand to Bath, England in 1988" before being "sold to an American living in Dublin" from whom the present Eire-based owner bought it some nine years ago. Said to remain "very original", it is due to participate in a "1,000 mile trip" around Southern Ireland prior to being presented for sale in the UK.

Finished in maroon with beige leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (interior trim, wheels / tyres), "very good" (engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, chassis, bodywork) or "excellent" (paintwork) condition. A genuine MK2 3.8 Litre Automatic (or so its quoted chassis number would imply), 'GHU 206B' is known to have been spent some considerable time in both New Zealand and Eire. Repatriated in late 2005, it is since said to have been treated to a repaint and mechanical check up. Riding on correct type steel wheels, this nicely presented MK2 is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until January 15th 2008 and historic class (free) road tax valid until January 2008.
