This is the sort of 'restomod' we can really get behind. The Jaguar Mk2 was revered for its performance in its day, but this 1962 example has received myriad 21st-century enhancements, while retaining the period-correct look and feel of an unmodified example. 
 
Conceived and built by Charles Russell Classic Cars LLP in 2015, this car's specialist conversion includes fitting a 4.2-litre Supercharged Jaguar AJ V8 engine producing 400 bhp. A modern six-speed manual transmission provides an engaging driving experience compared to the automatic boxes often found in such conversions. 

Finished in Old English White with an Oxblood leather interior, this MK2 presents a balance of originality and enhancement. Unlike some conversions that completely modernise the interior, this example retains its original interior, Smiths instruments and Webasto sunroof, thus preserving the classic character while delivering strong performance. 

The vendor says:
 
 "Whilst not Concours, it presents beautifully - but is not so perfect that it cannot be used and enjoyed. The chassis was completely shot blasted to bare metal and appropriately primed, with the front end engineered to take the bigger engine and improved suspension."

The vendor says:
 
 "Save for a few subtle cues, it looks like a standard MK2. It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, however, and able to keep up with the quickest cars on the road. Lethal at a classic track day, it is extremely well-mannered and could also be a daily driver. It recently completed a tour of Ireland in the company of a brace of performance and supercars and commanded much admiration and respect. My son and I  have enjoyed showing and demonstrating this car over the years. It presents beautifully, but is not so perfect that it cannot be used and enjoyed."
