History file with invoices spanning three decades, including the original purchase invoice
Engine, automatic gearbox, and power steering all overhauled
Registered on French collection plates
The Appeal
The bank robber's favourite, the 3.8-litre Mark 2 was the pick of Jaguar's celebrated compact saloon range, combining a potent twin-cam six-cylinder engine with the model's renowned blend of sporting agility and wood-and-vinyl refinement. It remains one of the most desirable British saloons of the 1960s, and the 3.8-litre variant is the one most keenly sought by enthusiasts.
This example has been in the hands of its current owners for over 30 years, during which time it has benefited from significant mechanical attention. The engine, automatic gearbox, and power steering have all been overhauled, and the car is supported by a history file with invoices spanning three decades. The vendor reports that the car drives well and starts readily.
Cosmetically, this is an honest car that would reward further investment. The bodywork requires attention, and the paintwork is due for renewal, while inside, the front seat cushions need re-upholstering, though the cabin retains its characterful wooden dashboard in good condition. Always stored under cover, this mechanically sorted 3.8 Mark 2 represents a sound basis for a cosmetic refresh.image.png1.76 MB
