The seller offers for sale this 1963 Jaguar MK2, a classic British luxury saloon that combines elegant design with authentic mechanical character. This car received a new paint finish in September 2024 and was treated with a ceramic coating in June 2025, leaving the bodywork in beautiful condition with no visible wear. The MK2 features its original 2.4-litre inline-six engine paired with a smooth-shifting manual gearbox. The vehicle starts easily, runs cleanly with no smoke or mechanical noises, and shifts precisely.

Inside, the original grey leather upholstery retains its patina and character, displaying light cracks consistent with age. All instruments and electrics function correctly, except for the handbrake warning light. A new alternator and battery have been fitted, ensuring reliable performance. Overall, this Jaguar presents as a well-cared-for example, recently refreshed but still maintaining the genuine atmosphere of a classic driver’s car.
The Jaguar MK2 is one of the most recognisable sports saloons of the 1960s, admired for its elegant lines and strong performance.
