Desirable 3.8-litre example with power steering
The Appeal
The Jaguar Mk2 was an immediate hit when it reached the market. As the Jaguar advertisements so proudly stated, it embodied Grace . . . Space . . . Pace, all in remarkable volumes. It was sporty and spacey, with quintessentially British styling. Those smooth curves, that leather and walnut-addled cabin, married up to that distinctive grille... It was a masterful bit of automotive design.
This is an excellent example of the Mk2's enduring charm, packed with the model's largest engine - the 3.8L XK I6 and equipped with optional power steering. The car is in very good condition, with no corrosion and a recently overhauled and rustproofed body. If you've ever wanted to get behind the wheel of one of Jaguar's all-time greats, this is a perfect opportunity.
