For Sale: My 1962 Jaguar Mk2 – 3. 8 Upgraded to 4. 2
Here’s your chance to own more than just a car – this is a classic Jaguar Mk2 that combines style, history, and pure driving pleasure. A car to cherish, drive, and turn heads wherever it goes.
This Mk2 has been lovingly crafted as a homage to Graham Hill’s famous ‘BUY 1’ Jaguar Mk2 and is period correct as a Goodwood club racer. It wouldn’t look out of place at the Goodwood Revival, capturing the spirit and excitement of 1960s motorsport. On the road, it draws smiles and admiration from all ages – a car that gets noticed, appreciated, and enjoyed wherever it goes.
Imagine sliding into the luxurious Bridge of Weir leather bucket seats, turning the key to a freshly built 4. 2-litre engine by 96 Engineering (Approx £12k) that pulls with effortless authority. Every mile is an experience, whether cruising country lanes, heading to a classic car event, or enjoying a spirited weekend drive.
A Car With Story and Heritage:
• Originally a 3. 8, now a fresh 4. 2 built by 96 Engineering
• Previously owned by the Audi UK Motorsport PR Manager, participating in HERO events including numerous Scottish Malts rallies
• Approximately £40, 000 has been spent under my current ownership on improvements, maintenance, and upgrades
Performance and Handling:
• Limited Slip Differential (LSD) and Koni sports suspension provide precise, confident handling
• Uprated exhaust manifold and full stainless steel exhaust deliver thrilling sound and responsiveness
• Fresh carburettor tune (last week) and new Blockley tyres (going on next week!) mean it’s ready to hit your favourite
Character & Charm:
• South African import with a solid, rust-free underside – rare for a Mk2
• Patinated bodywork adds unique personality – this is a car to drive and enjoy, not just admire
• Rear spats removed for a club-racer aesthetic; period-correct and easy to customise or refit if desired
• Positive reactions guaranteed wherever you go – classic style that appeals across generations
A Driver’s Car:
• XK-style bucket seats in sumptuous Bridge of Weir leather (£3, 500)
• Dry-stored during travel abroad, then driven extensively upon returning!
• Minor works needed: would recommend to refurb or replace rear wheels (some spokes broken), front suspension ball joints are worn, has a noisy clutch release bearing – annoying as most likely an engine out job. Drivers side doors could do with a like of paint, as could the bonnet. And some light preservation work.
This Jaguar Mk2 isn’t a showroom ornament – it’s a driver’s car with soul and history, ready to be enjoyed every day or showcased at rallies. Owning this car is joining a legacy of classic motoring, with a nod to racing history and modern usability.
