The Jaguar Mk. II was a mid-size sedan built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models. The mk. II was a handy, powerful and a good handling sedan offered with a choice of three six-cylinder dual-cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. From the outside, it actually looked very much like the Mk I, but closer inspection reveals that the differences are greater than it first appears. In all areas, the car has been subtly improved. Larger windows and thinner window bars helped give the car a more open character. The increased track width due to a wider rear axle compared to the Mk I combined with the modified front suspension benefited the handling considerably. Changes were also made in the interior. For instance, the tachometer and speedometer were moved to a position directly in front of the driver instead of the traditional position in the centre of the dashboard. The new steering wheel with half-ring for the horn also made its introduction with the Mk II. In addition he was equipped with the new Dunlop disc brakes all round instead of drum brakes. The 220 hp 3.8-litre engine variant became the most sought-after.

Needless to say, performance was excellent and the Mk II enjoyed 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 great 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) whenever an Mk II drives by. Besides, the model is known as one of the best-driving cars in its class at the time. And today, it is still a pleasant driving car. Its particularly sporty handling combined with its excellent everyday usability makes the car a pleasant and comfortable travelling companion to this day. And its nostalgia combined with its good driving performance make the driver and passengers smile broadly every drive

This car was originally delivered in the State of Ontario in Canada, after which it was exported to Europe. In 2022, this MK II was registered in the Netherlands.

The engine and gearbox were overhauled a few years back. Due to his age, the current owner has not been able to fully check the car after the restoration, besides, the car has not been driven much in recent years. As a result, some technical/mechanical improvements are still needed for the Jaguar to be completely finished and reliable. Such as oil leaks, the steering wheel being slightly crooked, some noises from the suspension etc.

The beautiful colour scheme of the dark blue paint combined with the red leather interior makes this car a sight to behold. The car looks very good and has beautiful chrome work all around.
The Smith counter instruments and chrome wire wheels complete the picture.
The Jaguar has Matching numbers and is in good optical condition and the bodywork has always been rust free. Thanks in part to its fine 3.8-litre engine and automatic transmission, this car drives very nicely. This most powerful 3.8-litre six-in-line engine gives it just that extra bit of agility, allowing it to keep up with traffic well above average on the motorway too. It is ready for a lot more driving pleasure.
