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.
