The Appeal

The Jaguar Mark 2 is widely regarded as one of the most iconic British saloons ever produced. It was certainly among the most successful, offering excellent value for money in period with its blend of sports performance with opulent luxury and flowing styling.

The 3.4-litre variant offers an excellent balance of power and drivability, making it a highly desirable choice for classic Jaguar enthusiasts. This 1963 began life as a 2.4, bit has since been converted to the larger XK engine while retaining a sport manual overdrive gearbox. It also has the desirable wire wheels fitted and is resplendent in red over grey leather.

With recent comprehensive maintenance and an advisory-free MOT, this Mark 2 represents a fine opportunity to acquire a well-sorted, usable example of this classic British sports saloon.
