The seller offers for sale this Jaguar MK 2 from 1966, a classic British sedan powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder petrol engine. The car was imported in 1984 by the previous owner, and its accident-free history has been documented ever since. Over the years the car received cavity protection, various minor repairs and a repair of the original driver’s door after a parking dent. In 2024 the current owner carried out extensive mechanical work, including a technical overhaul, complete inspection with engine and gearbox oil service, renewed brake system including brake lines, refurbished steering system, overhauled front axle, refurbished driveshaft with new bearings, differential sealing and renewed rear axle bearings. The paint has been partially resprayed due to a past parking incident. Inside, all instruments function correctly, the radio’s shortwave cannot be tested due to lack of analogue stations, the leather shows charming patina and the wood trim remains in good original condition. The engine starts without issues, runs clean with no blue or white smoke and produces no unusual noises. The car is confirmed accident-free aside from the repaired door damage, is free of visible rust, holds a valid inspection and features no technical upgrades. The seller notes that the speedometer currently makes noise and should be replaced; this can be done before delivery.
First introduced in 1959, the Jaguar MK 2 quickly became one of the brand’s most recognisable and admired sedans. Known for blending elegance with sporting performance, the MK 2 featured refined styling, luxurious interiors and impressive road manners for its era. Equipped with lively six-cylinder engines, these models became favourites among private buyers, motorsport enthusiasts and even period police forces due to their capable handling and strong acceleration. Today the MK 2 remains an appreciated classic with a loyal following, valued for its craftsmanship, polished driving character and timeless design. Well-maintained examples with documented histories continue to attract collectors who seek an authentic British sports saloon with charm, comfort and a distinctive presence on the road.
