THE JAGUAR MARK II HAS BUILT A DEVOTED FOLLOWING IN THE YEARS SINCE THEY WERE FIRST PRODUCED. THESE BEAUTIFUL "SPORTING SALOONS" WERE AVAILABLE WITH SEVERAL ENGINE SIZES OF WHICH THE 3.8 LITRE WAS THE LARGEST. THIS PARTICULAR CAR COMES FROM WASHINGTON STATE WITH A PRIOR LIFE SPENT IN CALIFORNIA. THERE IS NO RUST NOR ANY INDICATION OF PRIOR RUST REPAIR TO THE ORIGINAL PANELS THAT WE HAVE FOUND. THE PRIOR OWNER STARTED A GENERAL REFURBISHMENT. THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND THE ENGINE HAVE BEEN REBUILT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SILVER BUT THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT METALLIC BLUE. THE EXTERIOR CHROME IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH ONLY THE SEATS NEEDING TO BE RECOVERED. THE DOOR PANELS, WOOD, DASH PANEL AND HEADLINER YOU WOULD NOT THINK OF REPLACING. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION IS AN AUTOMATIC (MY OPINION IS THAT THE INSTALLATION OF A MODERN 5-SPEED GEARBOX WOULD MAKE THE CAR EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE AND THE INCREASE IN VALUE WOULD LIKELY PAY FOR THE CONVERSION COST), THE AVERAGE RETAIL VALUE OF MARK II JAGAURS IS NOW $43,000. THIS IS ONE "PROJECT CAR" THAT SHOULD REAP PLEASENT REWARDS FOR THE NEW OWNER.
