A rare Black Jaguar Mk2 3.8 which has an all-synchromesh gearbox, power steering and uprated brakes.
The Mk 2 Jaguar, introduced in 1959, was a fast and capable saloon. It came with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engine. The 3.8 is similar to that used in the 3.8 E-Type but with one less SU carburettor. The 3.4 Litre and 3.8 Litre cars were fitted with twin SU HD6 carburettors and the 2.4 Litre with twin Solex carburettors. Compared to the Mark 1, the appearance of the car was transformed by an increase of 18% in cabin glass area. The car was re-engineered above the waistline, slender front pillars allowed a wider windscreen and the rear window almost wrapped around to the enlarged side windows. The radiator grille was amended and larger side, tail and fog lamps repositioned. Inside a new heating system was fitted with ducted air to the rear compartment. There was an improved instrument layout that became standard for all Jaguar cars until the XJ series II. From its introduction the Jaguar MkII developed a strong following in many walks of life. With wonderful styling and a race-bred engine and four-wheel disc brakes, the ability to carry five passengers at great speed, the car proved to be a great success.
This example is a 3.8 manual with overdrive that has been owned by the vendor for 30 years. The car comes with full service history to cover this 30 year period, with some paperwork that predates the vendor's ownership. It is a low owner car having only had 5 previous owners in 52 years.
It is described as being in good running condition, with an all synchromesh gearbox and overdrive that works well. The car has had a brakes upgrade and power steering fitted in 2015. The bodywork and paint are said to be in good condition but not concours. The car has a very rare factory fitted sunroof (not webasto).
The car comes with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate showing the original colour to be black exterior/red interior, which the vendor changed the car back to when the car was renovated in the early 90‘s.
