These cars were equally impressive at long-distance racing and in 1961 broke four world records in the 3–5 liter class, averaging 106.58 miles per hour over 10,000 miles. The Mk2 would go on to dominate saloon car championship racing, delighting crowds at such legendary tracks as Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Goodwood, and even the Tour de France, at which it proved victorious from 1960 to 1963. It was no wonder then that the Mk2 quickly became the preferred getaway car for London gangsters (matched in short order by the police in their stripped 3.8s) in the Swinging Sixties.

Wheelbase: 187.75” Adhering to Jaguar founder William Lyons' maxim of "grace, pace and space," the Mk2 series set new standards of style, comfort, and, above all, performance. Presenting discerning buyers a luxurious, wood-trimmed alternative to a more conventional family car, and in a sportier package, it is rightfully known today as the world’s first sport sedan. For 1960, the 3.4 Saloon was officially renamed the Mk2 and was offered with an optional new 3.8 liter engine – the same powerplant as the 1960 XK150 and the largest displacement the Mk2 would ever carry. A tachometer, limited-slip differential, four-wheel disc brakes, and four-speed transmission with overdrive were all standard. Three categories of Mk II sedan the examples that appear at auction fall into three categories: Old Retainer, Show Star, and Over-the-Top Resto-mod. Each has its own distinct price range. OLD RETAINERS: These are generally cars lovingly owned and driven by the same family from new. They may be a bit shabby around the edges, with fading wood and a greasy engine compartment, but they’ll provide reasonable service. Such cars can be had for around $25,000 but could cost $50,000 or more to take to the next level. SHOW STARS: These were once probably old retainers, but have benefited from complete restoration by a Jaguar specialist. In such a restoration, the engine and suspension would be rebuilt, and expensive body work would repair any faults in the stressed chassis. A first-class paint job would cap the refinishing of every piece of wood, and leather interior would be replaced. Such concours restorations are labors of love and can exceed six figures. Unfortunately, they typically fetch half that investment when their owners move on. BESPOKE RESTO-MODS: These are the few cars remanufactured on a bespoke basis by Vicarage in England, or Beachams or McLaren in New Zealand. Building a modern car within the traditional Jaguar shell, the buyer can specify powertrain and suspension from a Jaguar XKR, as well as climate control and audio systems of Bentley quality. Cost for such a project will also be in the Bentley range, though the custom nature of the project typically means the car will also sell for half or less what it cost when the owner decides to move on. This Jaguar Mk II 3.8 here clearly falls into the second category. Restored for show it is as good as any judge could hope to see.
