Description

The Jaguar Mk. II remains one of the most recognisable British sporting saloons of the 1960s, combining elegant styling, impressive performance and traditional Jaguar luxury. Introduced in 1959 as the successor to the Mk. I, the Mk. II featured revised styling, a wider rear track and larger glass area, giving it a more purposeful appearance. Power came from Jaguar's renowned XK twin-cam, straight-six engine, with the 2.4 litre version offering a more relaxed interpretation of the sporting saloon formula. Paired with a manual gearbox and, in this instance, overdrive, it provides an engaging and characterful classic driving experience.

Finished in an attractive shade of Opalescent Silver Blue with a dark blue leather interior, this example has a particularly appealing presence. The interior shows some age and patina, and could benefit from attention in places, but retains a pleasing sense of originality and charm. The car is accompanied by its original buff logbook, historic MoT test certificates and a collection of invoices documenting work carried out over the years.

The car has benefited from considerable mechanical attention in recent years, including work to the engine, clutch, fuel pump and brakes, as well as the fitting of a reconditioned gearbox. The car has been used regularly by the current owner and is reported to run very well, having been enjoyed as intended, including virtually daily use in London and a trip to Paris this summer without fault. The Mk. II offers an increasingly attractive entry point into classic Jaguar ownership, with the smaller-engined 2.4 providing all the familiar styling and character of its more powerful siblings. With its appealing colour combination and charming presentation, this is an honest and inviting example of Jaguar's much-loved sporting saloon. Consigned by Fraser Smith
