The Appeal

Mk2 Jags came in several different guises, but the 3.8 Manual/Overdrive is the one you want. Equipped with the torquey engine from the E-Type, it's no wonder bank robbers loved them...

This 1964 example has been in the current owner's care since September 2008, during which time it underwent an extensive renovation spanning six years from 2009 to 2015. The work included a bare metal respray, new interior trim, Aldridge seat squabs, and a complete refurbishment of the woodwork. The cylinder head was prepared for lead-free fuel. The car remains unmodified, retaining its positive earth system and standard generator. A folder of invoices and two detailed spreadsheets document the renovation work.

A well-sorted Mk2 in the most desirable specification, there's a lot to love about this car. Don't miss the chance to make it yours.

You are right. I fitted it myself as I could not afford the ridiculous quotes I was getting. So whatever is wrong you would have to correct. What is it b.t.w.?
