SUMMARY
Bespoke 1963 Mk2 in Opalescent British Racing Green with sympathetic upgrades including the powerful 4.2-litre XK unit and a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive.
DESCRIPTION
- This stunning UK-delivered Mk2 received a full restoration in 2014, which included a host of cosmetic and mechanical enhancements. The car now exudes a 'Q car' aura, combining understated elegance with potent performance
- It's finished in Opalescent British Racing Green with parchment leather interior, a colour combination that only gets better with time
- The comprehensive 2014 restoration addressed various aspects including bodywork, mechanical enhancements, replacement of components such as brake discs, pads, fuel tank, fuel pipes, carburettor, cooling system, and more, resulting in a visually stunning and very capable Mk2
- The original 3.8-litre engine was replaced with a more powerful 4.2-litre XK unit and a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, though aficionados note the near identicality of the saloon bodies despite the chassis change
- Continual maintenance and improvements included gearbox and overdrive overhauls, clutch replacement, modifications for easier gearbox removal, engine and electrical upgrades by renowned specialists, showcasing a harmonious balance between performance and classic elegance
- Whilst this Mk2 may not bear 'matching numbers', it more than compensates for that with its exceptional upgrades, understated looks and handsome presentation
