Description
Jaguar Mk 2 3. 8 Manual Overdrive. Must be one of the best currently for sale. This is an unusually original 1964 3. 8 litre model still with its Moss gearbox. Moss gearboxes vary considerably but being a low mileage car this one is very rewarding to use. Opalescent Golden Sand with a Tan leather interior with a perfect level of patina. In excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. Excellent paint finish and panel fit. Not equipped with the usual vague and lifeless power steering (the steering box and other components are in top condition so the steering is sharp and accurate and not heavy to manoeuvre - even in a tight space). Rare optional reclining front seats. Just over 60000 miles (old MOTs going back to 1985 suggest that this is accurate) so it drives like a Mk2 3. 8 would have done when they were new in the 1960s.. Excellent oil pressure and a smooth, quiet, smoke and leak free engine. Priced to sell: Very reasonably priced so I can sell it to make room for an E-Type or XK120 (if this car was for sale with a dealer it would be 50% more expensive).
Recent work:
2024: handbrake, gearbox mount, service (oil change etc).
2023: timing chain tensioner, horns, headlamps, wipers, clutch slave cylinder, rear Brake cylinders, pads and master cylinder service (oil change etc).
2022: new clutch, brake callipers, front brake pads and cylinders, respray.
2021: new fuel pump. new fuel tank: electronic ignition
The car can be seen in Cowley Peachey near Uxbridge. Part exchange possible for an XK120, 140, 150 or E Type (two seater S1 or S2). This is the most original Mk2 3. 8 on the market. It's in beautiful condition throughout.
