Vehicle Description
This 1962 Jaguar Mark ll 3.8 is one of the most readily recognized
cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films
and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mark ll saloon set the standard
for the class throughout its entire production life and today
remains highly prized by enthusiasts. Boasting Dunlop disc brakes
all round and a choice of 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8-litre XK engines, the
Jaguar Mark ll provided the discerning enthusiast driver with one
of the finest sports saloons available in the 1960s. In its
top-of-the-line, 3.8-litre, overdrive-equipped form, the Mark 2
could reach 125mph with 60mph coming up in 8.5 seconds, impressive
figures for a car of its size even by today's standards.
Representing the Jaguar Mark ll in its ultimate, 3.8-litre,
overdrive-equipped configuration, this beautifully presented
example was acquired by its current owner in 2008 who has
maintained and enjoyed this classic Jaguar to this day.
