THE APPEAL
With its curvaceous lines, compact proportions and fantastic chassis, the Jaguar Mk 2 is one of the most evocative classic cars of the 1960s, as well as one that
enjoyed a strong 11-year production run.
By the end of its life, the compact Jaguar had been forced to evolve, however. The new XJ6 was now the company's luxury flagship, so the Mk 2 was simplified and a new base model introduced the 240 with a shortened stroke and smaller block reducing the engine size to just under 2.5-litres.
This is an early 240, from 1968. It’s also one with a very unusual backstory. Originally a right-hand-drive UK car, it was exported to the USA over 30 years ago and came back around a decade ago, but has sat in covered storage ever since as part of a private collection.
This is a car with plenty of potential whether you want to simply register it, tidy it up and use it, which shouldn’t prove too difficult, use it as the basis for a full restoration or even use it as a basis for a historic motorsport car given its unconventional history. Whichever way, it’s a very good basis and a good place to start
