For many the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary Saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Available with 2. 4, 3. 4 and 3. 8 Litre engines and with either automatic or manual transmissions, the MkII is still a desirable and usable classic in modern times.
