This is a stunning example of the 1961 Jaguar MK2 Sedan that has
been expertly restored by its current owner. The odometer reads
60,772 miles but essentially the car is new and in better condition
than it was the day it originally left the factory.
This 1961 Jaguar MK2 is exceptional in every way and you will see
from the gallery photographs that absolutely no expense was spared
in completion of this project. From the $12,500 purchase of the
original condition car in 2014, this project has taken years,
considerable expense and masterful craftmanship that has resulted
in this concours-level restoration. The restoration project itself
is meticulously detailed all of which will be provided to the new
owner of the car for their records. The current owner is selling
this beautiful car as he is about to embark on a new time-sensitive
project opportunity.
This car runs and drives beautifully, the performance of the 2.4
liter engine is excellent (it has a light-weight aluminum flywheel
with a 3.8 clutch to mitigate initial torque difference versus the
larger engine) and at national events, concours judges in the US
seem to like the relatively rare 2.4. The gearbox is smooth and
responsive and the overdrive works as designed.
In terms of Jaguar national shows, there might be potential point
reductions for the following:
- Not original radio; replaced with modern digital entertainment
unit with Bluetooth, backup camera, etc. housed in the original
frame but with non fabric finish.
- Completely new electrical system to replace the horrible
original! Includes a modern fuse box that looks almost like the
original Lucas box.
- Completely redesigned electronic heater with original housing,
but the control value is modern.
- Brass radiator top instead of black paint; easy to change if
desired.
- Modern hose clamps instead of Cheney ones, the Cheney clamps do
not work well; easily changed if desired
- Spare tire not the same brand as mounted tires; an easy change if
desired
Other than the above, this is as close to a national concours
winner as we believe one will find anywhere. Low, Curved and
Exciting, the bodywork of the MK2 Series is iconic and this
specific car is in rare condition. If you are a serious Jaguar
collector this is a car that you can not afford to let pass you by.
