1968 Jaguar Mk.II 3.4 Auto

The Jaguar MkII saloon was voted car of the year when launched in 1959. With three engine options of 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 (the 3.8 being the fastest saloon in the world at the time), it would form the mainstay of Jaguar's saloon production until 1967.It also became popular with both the police force and the villains of the day due to its performance and reliability. On track the car enjoyed similar success in the early days of the BTCC, being driven by legends such as Graham Hill and Sir Jackie Stewart. The model was also immortalised by the popular TV series 'Morse' as his distinctive car of choice.

This is a UK market original 1968 3.4 car that has covered 51,000 miles. This is supported by previous MOTs and a detailed history file. Bought by our vendor early in 2011, the car had already received a bare metal full restoration of the body and there is a full photographic record of this on file. It has also won several concours competitions both locally and nationally.

Our vendor wanted the inside of his smart Mk II to match his new Bentley, so he commissioned a full interior re-trim which included all the carpets, leather seats, headlining and a refurbishment of both the dashboard and all wood veneer trim. He also wanted a modern sound system but at the same time to preserve the original dashboard, so he had a modern Sony sound system fitted with an I-Pod connector but with a unique period radio front. Finally, he also wanted his children to travel safely - so he fitted new seat belts all round, complete with mascot adorned buckles. More recently the car has had new period wire wheels with Pirelli Tyres fitted, new number plates, a new battery and it has had a full service at a specialist Jaguar dealer.

Ready to drive and enjoy, this car is ideal for tours, rallies or long distance, comfortable European trips in a true British Classic.
