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.
