Highlights

Only 41,856 kilometres from new
Comprehensive mechanical and electrical restoration in 2019
Interior in outstanding condition
Recently failed its Controle Technique and requires some repairs

The Appeal

The Jaguar MK2 3.4 litres is a classic car that exudes British elegance and performance. Introduced in 1959, the MK2 quickly became a favourite for the Coventry-commanding elite for its luxurious interior and impressive performance - a true 'Best of British' big cat.

This particular 1964 example has been lovingly cared for by a classic car enthusiast and drives fine, but has recently not passed the French Technical Inspection so it will require repair before being fully roadworthy. With only 41,856 kilometres on the clock, this car is a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to experience the joy of driving a classic Jaguar.
