The Appeal

Beloved of cops and robbers alike, the Jaguar Mk2 was one of the earliest high-performance saloons. Powered by Jaguar's brilliant DOHC straight-six 'XK' engine, it was properly quick by 1960s standards and moreover, it offered the epitome of comfort and style at a remarkably competitive price point.

This 1967 example has benefitted from an extensive restoration, which included a bare metal respray, engine rebuild, and numerous sensible upgrades. The car's Signal Red exterior paired with a Cream leather interior makes it a head-turner, while the upgraded electronic ignition and alternator ensure significantly improved reliability.

Since, then, it has enjoyed regular servicing with classic car specialists and there's a comprehensive history file detailing all of the work carried out. The car has covered less than 10,000 miles since its restoration.

For those seeking a Mk2 to use and enjoy, this example is without any doubt worthy of your consideration.

The Condition

Original Mk 2 type bumpers
Chromed wire wheels fitted
Restoration work included a bare metal respray, new jacking points and interior retrim with new headlining, carpets, re-veneered woodwork
Bodywork presents well with only some rust bubbles on the lower edge of the n/s doors and boot-lid edge
Underside appears free from notable defects
Paint on the underside of the bonnet has begun to flake
Chrome strip around the rear screen needs re-fitting on the o/s
Slight pitting to the brightwork
Limited use since the restoration means the interior has little in the way of wear
Cream leather upholstery in very good condition with light patina to the front seats
Carpet, headlining, and woodwork are in smart order with minimal signs of use
Some areas of trim would benefit from tidying, such as around the bonnet release toggle - but there's certainly nothing especially noteworthy to report
