Blue Metallic with Blue leather interior. Our Mk II is an
exquisitely restored example, which displays the care and time

leather, carpets, and meticulously finished burl wood. Desirable
up-dates include A/C, alternator and rack and pinion steering.
Other unique features on this car are Lucas Fog Ranger fog lamps,
cutaway spats, sparkling chrome wire wheels, Derrington steering
wheel and reclining seats. Note the folding picnic tables built in
to the back of the front seats. Jaguars Mark II can be considered
one of the earliest compact sport sedans. Its handsome styling and
sparkling performance, particularly when properly equipped,
demonstrated that smaller did not necessarily mean inferior. The
Mark 1 was introduced in 1956 as a small sedan to expand Jaguars
model line and met with reasonable but not outstanding success. The
styling was reworked and the mechanical specification improved for
1959 and the new variant, called the Mark 2, which was not only
significantly more attractive and modern in appearance, but also
proved to be extremely popular. The car was available in 2.4, 3.4,
and 3.8 liter forms, with the 3.8 liter variant, essentially
Jaguars largest engine in their smallest sedan, being a genuinely
high performance car with excellent roadholding, braking, and
straight line performance. Indeed, the cars proved to be quite
successful in saloon car racing and were widely used both by
criminals, as getaway cars, and by police, to keep up with them!
For these reasons, Mark 2s, especially the 3.8L variants, are
valuable and supremely collectible, with their iconic styling and
performance. Ours is the finest we have seen and is ideal for the
perfection minded enthusiast.
