1961 JAGUAR MK 2 OVER $53,000 IN RECEIPTS! MAKE OFFER! EUROPEAN BUYERS WELCOMED! The lineage of the Mark 2 can be directly traced back to its predecessor, namely the 2.4 saloon, or Mk1 as it would be retrospectively known in later years. This sporting saloon, designed to fill the gap in Jaguar's range between the XK sports and volumous MkVII, entered the market in 1956. Power came from the legendary XK straight six, twin cam, engine in 2483cc form. Production of the Mark 1 continued into 1960, with 27,000+ examples having rolled off the production lines (this despite the disastrous factory fire of February 1957). Rather than introduce a completely brand new car, Jaguar successfully re-designed the car from stem to stern, and the Mk2 was born, debuting in 1959. By now the company had learned a great deal about unibody construction methods with the Mk1, and this was put to good use in designing the Mk2 bodyshell. Gone were the chunky windscreen pillars of the early car, to be replaced by slimmer offerings giving a much more airy cabin, that both improved the styling and freshened up the design for the new decade. I believe the car you see here to be one of the most thoroughly documented Mk 2s in existance. The stunning document trail dates back to the early 1970s. The paperwork reads like a novel and gives the reader a glimpse into the world of a series of fanatical owners determined to spare no expense in the maintenance and upkeep of this classic Cat. The car has been restored. The finish looks incredible in pictures but under close inspection, you will notice some shrinkage beneath the paint on top of the front fenders. There are few minor bubbles developing at the bottom of the doors. All of the guages work as the does the tube radio! The Mk2 starts right away with a push of the button and settles into a smooth idle. You will be amazed how well this car drives. It feels much more modern than it's years would indicate. A very useable classic that will continue to appreciate. Prices on classic Jaguars are climbing. Don't miss out on an opportunity to own one of the best!
