Originally a 3.8-litre car, now converted to 4.2-litre specification
Desirable MOD (manual with overdrive)
This car is sold on dealer consignment
The Appeal
Beloved by cops and robbers alike, the Jaguar MkII became the quintessential high-speed saloon of the 1960s, revered for its incredible performance and relatively affordable price point.
We’re pleased to offer this charming 1963 example, which was treated to a restoration following its arrival in the Netherlands in 1997. As the coveted MOD model, it’s the MkII enthusiastic drivers want and moreover, it has been further enhanced with the fitment of a 4.2-litre XK engine in lieu of its original 3.8-litre unit.
Presented in good overall condition, in a great colour scheme, this Jag is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
