1963 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 £ 37,950

This car was manufactured in 1963 as a home market 2.4 litre model. We know nothing of its early life, other than that by 1990, when it was purchased by a Jersey-based owner, the original engine had been replaced with a 3.8 litre unit, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The new owner embarked upon a professional “total restoration” (a spend of nearly £39K). The car has since remained in the Channel Islands, receiving appropriate maintenance and additional works as required.

In 2002 we carried out some considerable additional bodywork restoration, which included the re-chroming of both front and rear bumpers. The Mk.2 is in a very good state of repair, with excellent paintwork and trim/chrome work, which includes the set of wire wheels.

The interior of the car was clearly fully restored during the renovation carried out in the ‘90s and remains very good to this day. A wood-rimmed steering wheel and modern ICE unit have been fitted.

This Mark 2 Jaguar is a fast and capable saloon, boasting the most powerful engine variant and a 5-speed gearbox. It runs and drives exactly as it should, living up to Jaguar’s famous marketing slogan “Grace - Space - Pace”.
