1961 Jaguar MkII 2.4 Manual with Overdrive For Sale

This superb driving, incredibly well presented 1961 Jaguar MKII 2. 4 has been known to since mid-2021 when it was driven 250 faultless miles to us from the East Coast of Scotland. 103 UXG performed effortlessly over the five hour journey south offering impressive performance from its later, more powerful 2. 4 litre engine. The later 240 engines increased from 120bhp to 133bhp and also offered more torque, a straight port type cylinder head and twin HS6 SU carbs with new inlet manifold as opposed to the Solex carbs used on the earlier 2. 4 engine. With the improved later 2. 4 unit, the car offers improved performance and drivability from standard specification.
We can report from the cars long distance drive to North Yorkshire the engine held excellent oil pressure, the engine ran consistently at correct working temperature and the superb smooth four speed Moss gearbox with working overdrive ensured a relaxed and comfortable driving experience. Brakes feel sharp, steering positive and direct and the car holds the road very well. The MKII is smooth, comfortable, feels quick off the mark and offers a lovely quiet, relaxed and effortless driving experience. Soon after arrival, the Jaguar sold to one of our long standing customers in Derbyshire. We prepared the car within our workshops spending £3500 to include electric power steering, two ball joint kits, full service and new battery. The recent owner has now purchased a 1950's Saloon so we are delighted to welcome the MKII back.

Over the past 18 years this MK2 has covered around 10, 500 miles and has clearly proven a reliable, usable and good driving example. This is now an older restoration that has been superbly fettled and retains a good quality, structurally excellent bodyshell. The underside is excellent with superb floors, sills and ‘crows feet' and the doors close beautifully with clean shut lines and no rust blemishing. The Opalescent Silver Blue paintwork retains a good quality finish and chrome work is excellent.

The interior of the car is lovely with high quality Dark Blue leather, smart carpets, headlining and woodwork. The MKII was restored to a very good standard and the engine bay, boot area and spare wheel well present very well with bright paintwork. The engine has the correct early rocker covers, and looks superb on a set of good quality wire wheels. The Jaguar comes with a history file containing lots of old MOT's and old V5's, and is an excellent value, strong driving and good quality MK2 Jaguar ideal for regular use and longer distance touring.
