The Jaguar Mk. II was a mid-sized sedan built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 liter models. the mk. II was a manageable, powerful and steerable sedan offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin-cam engines; 2.4 litres, 3.4 liters or 3.8 litres. From the outside, it actually looked exactly like the Mk I, but closer inspection reveals that the differences are greater than it initially appears. The car has been subtly improved in all areas. Partly thanks to the larger windows and thinner window bars, the car got a more open character. The increased track width due to a wider rear axle compared to the Mk I in combination with the modified front suspension improved road holding. Changes have also been made to the interior. For example, the tachometer and speedometer have been moved to a position directly in front of the driver instead of the traditional place in the center of the dashboard. The new steering wheel with half ring for the horn is also introduced with the Mk II. In addition, it was equipped with the new Dunlop disc brakes all round instead of drum brakes. The 220-hp 3.8-litre engine variant has become the most sought-after, especially in manual overdrive spec.

Obviously the performance was excellent and the Mk. II has had great success on the track and can still be a very competitive historic race car. Raced by famous names such as Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk II achieved many successes on circuits and car races in both Europe and the United States, thanks to the good controllability and high torque of the 3.8 XK engine.

The special thing about the Mk II is that almost everyone knows this Jaguar. Plenty of memories will be evoked (thanks in part to Inspector Morse) when a Mk II drives by. In addition, the model is known as one of the best driving cars in its class at that time. And today it is still a pleasant driving car. Its particularly sporty driving characteristics in combination with the excellent everyday usability make the car a pleasant and comfortable travel companion to this day. And the nostalgia in combination with the good driving performance ensures a wide smile for the driver and passengers every ride

This car was originally delivered in the State of Minnesota in the United States, after which the car was exported to Europe. In 1994 this MK II got a Dutch registration. This Mk II has recently been partially painted and restored to the beautiful condition in which the car is now.

The beautiful color scheme of British Racing Green in combination with the beige leather interior makes this car a feast for the eyes.
The car looks neat and has beautiful chrome work all around.
The Smith counter instruments and the chrome wire wheels complete the picture.
The Jaguar has matching numbers and is in a very good technical and optical condition. Thanks to the fine 3.8 liter engine and the manual transmission with overdrive, this car drives perfectly. The overdrive gives it just that little bit of extra flexibility, so that it can keep up with the traffic above average even on the highway. It is ready for a lot of driving pleasure.
