1964 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-Litre

Originally sold in South Africa, this Mk2 Jaguar Saloon was subject to a photo-documented full restoration in 1996 and even featured in the BBC’s ‘’The Cars the Star". It was purchased by our vendor in May 2007 and used as his daily driver for a year and, at the time, the only upgrades fitted were the brakes. In order to further improve the whole driving experience, the well respected Jaguar specialists, Marina Garage of Bournemouth, were tasked by him to carry out a host of improvements in December 2010.

Both the engine and gearbox were completely stripped and rebuilt and a complete stainless exhaust system fitted. Essential for any Mk2, a power steering kit was fitted and a Jaguar air-conditioning kit was fitted and was still blowing ice cold on our recent photoshoot. In addition, a Harvey Bailey Handling Kit was fitted and now this ‘loaded’ Opalescent Silver Blue Mk2 sits four square on Dunlop Aquajet tyres. There are invoices relating to the £23,676.35 Marina Garage expenditure in the history file and it comes complete with its original operating manual.

Used by our vendor for high days and fine days, he has covered approximately 350 miles enjoying the improvements and it has remained part of his South Coast Collection ever since completion in 2011.

If ever a Mk2 ticked all the boxes, this must be the one and, at No Reserve, offers scope for its next owner to enjoy the car or even take it to the next level.
