Vehicle Description
Built from 1959-1967 the 3.8 Liter or Mark 1 and 2 is a medium
sized car built by Jaguar in Coventry England. Mark 1 cars were
between 1955 and 1959 and were powered by 2.4 and 3.4 liter
engines. The Mark 2's were 1960-1967 and were powered by 3.8 Liter
engines which were extremely capable and were quite fast for a
four-door sedan at the time, producing 220 HP they could accelerate
to 60 MPH in just 8.5 seconds and had a speed of 125 MPH. In fact,
the engines were so good that the XKE models carried the same
motors early on. This particular stunning example had a body on
restoration in 1996 and was finished in Westminster Blue and
interior was done with Connolly hides, wilton wool rugs, new door
panels and headliner. This car was originally purchased from Jaguar
by Paul Deacon, a writer for Road and Track magazine for $1.00 and
was spec'ed out by him as well. His notebook along with the bill of
sale accompanies this sale along with the original license plate
from Coventry. The mileage is correct with a engine rebuilt in 1996
at 49,000 miles. A few upgrades include Coombs rear wheel spats,
stainless steel wire wheels, power rack and pinion, alternator
conversion with upgraded heater and fan as well as aluminum
radiator. It has a retrosound radio and petronix. This cars finish
is in remarkable condition as well as everything else. This Mark 2
starts at the snap of the key and is a absolute joy to drive.
Everything is in excellent working order and has been superbly
maintained. It has the Foranger fog lamps, reclining bucket seats
and rear window defogger. It comes with everything mentioned above
including the Heritage trust certificate. These cars with this kind
of history and paperwork do not come around often.
