The Mk II Jaguar was launched in October 1959 to replace the 2.4 & 3.4 litre saloons, which were immediately to become known as the Mk I. The Mk II was heavily based on its predecessor but had a much lighter and more modern appearance. This was mainly due to a much larger glass area achieved by the use of deeper windows and slimmer window frames that were no longer part of the door mouldings.
There were also many detail trim changes, and whilst the interior had undergone a complete redesign, it remained very luxurious with wood veneer and leather in abundance. Mechanically the rear track had been widened and improvements made to the suspension geometry. The 2.4 & 3.4 litre engines were carried forward from the Mk I but had gained slightly more power, and a third engine - the 3.8 litre, was now available. As with the larger engined version of the MK I saloon, the 3.8 litre Mk II had outstanding performance and was for a long time the fastest production saloon car in the world. The Mk II Jaguar was discontinued in 1967 with the introduction of the almost identical 240 & 340 saloon. This time though, there was not to be a 3.8 version, although this engine (along with the 3.4) was still being used in the slightly larger Jaguar S-Type, which featured independent rear suspension.
This car was completely restored from the ground up. It was modernised and improved by having power steering, Air Conditioning, and electric windows fitted. The woodwork was completely reveneered and beautifully finished, and the carpets and hood lining replaced.
The engine, gearbox, overdrive, suspension, brakes and all mechanical and electrical aspects of the car were overhauled. All the chrome was redone and any and all parts required for the car were imported from the UK. The car comes with a full tool set, and the owners manual and handbook, very rare items and seldom seen with cars of this age. The car was fitted with fully imported chrome wire wheels
This car has been an absolute labour of love to restore, and one who's condition now we are extremely proud of. If you are looking for a classic Jaguar that requires absolutely no work and just needs and wants to be driven, then this is the car for you. She looks and drives better than she did back in 1965
