Unveiled in 1959, the Jaguar MK2 was an evolution of the MK1 saloon. In its 3.8-litre version, it combined the XK six-cylinder engine with a wood and leather-trimmed interior, a combination that helped define the British sports saloon.
This 1961 model, originally from France and fitted with a manual gearbox, has been owned by its current owner for twenty-five years. It has had only two owners since it was first registered.
The owner states that it has been regularly serviced by a specialist in British cars. Work carried out includes the replacement of the ignition system and the exhaust system, the refurbishment of the upholstery around five years ago, and the fitting of four replacement wheels and a replacement steering wheel. No invoices are provided for this work.
The original leather upholstery, alloy wheels and steering wheel have been retained and will be supplied with the car. The engine is described as having retained its original configuration, with no major modifications.
With its 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine and manual gearbox, this MK2 invites you to enjoy drives in the spirit of a 1960s British saloon.
