I have 40 years of British car experience and this is my master piece. Just retired from my company BMC Classis,Inc Automatic, factory Air condition, modern rack and pinion Power steering, 4 wheel Power disc breaks, 70 amps Alternator conversion, Cooling system improved, Wire Wheels, Stainless steel muffler system, Leather seat, USB stick radio, more. Ground up restored 2002 by me - BMC Classics,Inc. then in 2013 a major mechanical overhaul to the tune of $ 11,500.- and in 2015 $ 9500.- A/c , electric and cooling update for every day use and the traffic we have now. This is not you average restored Jaguar MK2. Desirable 3.8-liter example with 9:1 compression head for more power. This car is in superb condition. The factory already fitted out this Jaguar MK2 with an automatic transmission. You do not want to sit in traffic and clutch all the time. Factory Air condition and Alternator conversion is a must if you actually want to enjoy a Jaguar MK2. The original Power steering had been replaced with a modern rack and pinion steering, the cooling system had been improved using Aluminum Radiator, Fan cowl, and electric cooling fan on a manual switch. Also a modern radio with USB and speakers where installed. And to make this all work the 35 amp generator had been replaced with a 65 amp alternator together with improvements in wiring, fuses, and voltmeter. A rotary A/C compressor makes for a working A/C. This car will not overheat. Comes with tool kit, invoices, manual, winning trophies from car shows. The car as it is today is worth of showing at any car shows with no faults at all. It shows a bit of patina which suits the car very well, does not look over restored. After careful inspection I belief this car had never had any rust, it appears to be never welded on. Jaguar introduced its compact MkII saloon in late 1959, as a successor to their popular 3.4 saloon of 1957-1958. The MkII's new wrap-around tail light and revised side window details gave it a more airy appearance, driving lights were now incorporated into the frontal ensemble and a new wide center bar split the grille vertically. The Jaguar MkII was offered with Jaguar DOHC engines of 2.4, 3.4 and ultimately 3.8-liter displacements. All MkII saloons were well appointed in the grand European touring tradition—there were even fold-down trays for rear passengers. A genuine high-performance sports sedan, the 3.8-liter MkII would go from 0-60 mph in just 8.5 seconds, and top speed was 125mph. Little wonder the MkII soon became known as "The Businessman's Express."On Sep-30-15 at 08:58:55 PDT, seller added the following information: The new alternator delivers 65 amps. Since the amp meter and wires can not handle this amount I did: Installed a correct Jaguar volt meter. Installed a Jaguar vintage fuse holder with 2 30 amp fuses, under the starter solenoid. A/C fans, radiator fan, A/C condenser fan in front inner wheel housing - not in front of radiator! - all on new wires going to that fuse box and alternator output is also going to this fuse panel. A/C is R134A with new compressor and dryer. Installed radiator shroud, what a pain that was. Heat shield over exhaust manifolds protecting PS pump and reservoir. All 4 new vent window seals, the old once where hard and brittle. Replaced fuel pump, cleaned filter in fuel tank, installed inline fuel filter. Front and rear suspension springs new. Adjustable shocks. Relocated coil to firewall. And much more
