The Appeal
Much like what is said of the 1.6-liter 205 GTi versus its 1.9 sibling, it's the smaller 3.4-liter Jaguar XK engine that is regarded as the smoothest and sweetest in the Mk2 range. The free-revving 3.4-liter Mk2, in manual/overdrive (MOD) guise, could still reach 120 mph and was also known to consume less oil than its 3.8 counterpart.
Six decades on, they still feel genuinely quick, making them highly usable even on 21st-century roads, and those William Lyons lines look as graceful as ever. We're delighted to present this lovely 1966 example, a matching-numbers, UK right-hand drive car finished in Silver Blue Metallic over Navy Blue hide.
With just three former registered keepers, this Jag has led a sheltered life. The paintwork presents well for an older restoration, while the original hide interior has aged gracefully alongside carpets, headliner, and wood veneer that are all reported to be in good order. A power steering kit from SNG Barratt has been fitted, and the original radio has been modernized to receive FM via a new speaker.
Recently serviced by Jaguar specialists and with a recently obtained MOT, this Mk2 is described as ready to drive away and enjoy.image.png1.77 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no financing owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
