The Appeal
When it comes to a successful facelift, the Jaguar Mk2 is up there with the best of them. By bringing more light into its comfortable cabin, and popping in the 3.8L XK under the bonnet, they created one of motoring's ultimate super saloons - and one of the most desirable British classics on the market today.
This particular matching numbers example was restored a few years ago and is presented in a striking dark blue colour, perfectly complemented by a red leather interior. We've no doubt this marvellous saloon will present a very engaging prospect for any enthusiast - a real callback to the golden age of motoring, with a distinctive British milieu.
