THE APPEAL
There's no doubt that the Jaguar MK2 is a fantastic car to look at, drive and enjoy. It has excellent performance from the 3.4-litre straight-six, a luxurious cabin clad with leather and Walnut Burl, there is plenty of space, and the model is capable of being used daily if desired.
This particular MK2 came from South Africa, always a good starting point concerning corrosion. The car was repainted some time ago and had additional items fitted to make driving the MK2 much more manageable, such as power steering and a brake servo.
It spent many years there before being imported to the UK for a short period and finally residing in Spain.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
• Registered certificate present
• Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate
• Matching numbers
The MK2 was manufactured on the 9th November 1961 and sold by Sagers, Bulawayo of Rhodesia, South Africa. It spent many years in South Africa until it was exported to the UK in 2016, and registered on the 1st July 2016. It was then purchased by the seller and shipped to Spain, where it now resides.
The car is currently on historic Spanish registration plates H 378 BBF, but is still recorded in the UK with the DVLA on 283 UYS, so this wouldn’t be a big issue bringing it back into the UK. As the vehicle is located in Spain, the seller has also mentioned that he can arrange transportation to any UK mainland address if required at an additional cost.

THE INTERIOR
• Interior in good condition
• Excellent condition Walnut Burl
• Moto-Lita wood rim steering wheel
While the interior is in good condition, as you would expect, the beige leather seats have some light creasing, but there is no damage to be seen on the front or rear seats. The door cards are also in good condition, with just some light patina to the armrests. Finished with Walnut burl door cappings, these are in good order with no signs of peeling or cracking to the lacquered finish.
The Walnut trim continues onto the fabulous dashboard, which again, is free from any splits or cracks, and the finish of the veneer is in excellent condition. The instruments are reported to be working as they should and have clear faces with no scratches apart from the clock as the car was changed to negative earth and the clock will only function on positive earth. The odometer shows a reading of 24,631 miles which is thought to be 124,631 miles. The steering wheel has been replaced with a wood rim Moto-Lita item to match the dashboard.
The carpets and headlining are both in good order, with minor wear to the carpets and no sagging to the headlining. The boot area is carpeted, which is in good order and in just the same condition as the cabin carpets. The seller also confirms the car comes with the relevant tools and accessories and will supply the original steering wheel.
THE EXTERIOR
• Metallic Red paintwork
• Bright chromework
• Original wire wheels
The exterior of this 1961 Jaguar MK2 has been restored whilst in South Africa. Finished in Metallic Red, the car presents really well. Starting at the front, there are just a few small stone chips to the front end. The chrome is in nice condition with no immediate signs of tarnishing, and the lights are free from any cracks in the lenses.
Looking down the flanks of the 60s icon, there are no dings or dents to point out, and the doors look to align as they should. There are a couple of small blisters at the bottom of the doors. The chrome window trim all appears to be in good condition with minimal tarnishing in keeping with the age of the vehicle.
To the rear, the boot lid aligns as it should, and the light lenses are free from any damage. The wire wheels are in good order with no apparent signs of any corrosion, and the tyres are virtually new having been replaced less than 2,000 miles ago.
THE MECHANICS
• XK 3.4 litre Straight-six
• Power steering
• Recent shock absorbers and springs
• Negative earth conversion
The 3.4-litre straight-six has reportedly been well maintained and, during its time in Spain has received some upgrades to enhance the driving experience of the MK2. These have included the addition of power steering, a brake servo and new shock absorbers and springs, and there is also the conversion to negative earth to mention.
The Jaguar is reported to start and drive as it should, there are no untoward noises coming from the transmission, and the MK2 pulls through the gears well. Bringing the car to a halt is quite easy thanks to the brake servo upgrade, and it does so as you would expect.
SUMMARY
This splendid 1961 Jaguar MK2 3.4 was initially sold in South Africa, where it spent most of its life. It received a restoration in South Africa before making its move to the UK in 2016. Shortly after, it was then exported back to warmer climates in Spain, its current place of residence.
An iconic car of the 1960s, which is capable of being used and enjoyed daily. It handles well, keeps up with modern-day traffic easily, and has enough room for all the family. So what is there not to like about this British icon Jaguar MK2?

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
