The Appeal

This 1966 Jaguar Mk2 3.8 forms part of the carefully curated Blaauwbank Collection, which includes an eclectic mix of multi-generational cars, stored in purpose-built, climate-controlled dry-storage hangars in the arid climate of Central South Africa.

The 3.8-litre 'manual with overdrive' is widely regarded as a highly desirable specification in the legendary Mk2 lineage. This not only maintains the attractive saloon's profile, but throws in the largest engine option with the engaging manual gearbox and the long-legged cruising ability afforded by the overdrive unit.

This particular example is presented in Olde English White over a red interior, riding on wire-spoke wheels. It has reportedly benefited from considerable recent mechanical investment. The vendor describes the car as driving beautifully.
