Genuine 3.4 model - not a more commonly seen 2.4 with upgraded engine
Finished in Carmen Red with matching Leather Interior
Recent carpet replacement and good headlining
Benefitted from an older restoration, including a new fuel tank
The Appeal
The Jaguar MK2 is practically synonymous with the British automobile. Inimitably Anglocentric styling, a luxurious cabin and capable performance all come together to make these classy saloons enormously popular - and highly beloved classics.
Of the MK2s, The 3.4 is particular popular. This mid-sized variant of the XK engine - famously honed at Le Mans - offers a fast but very easy-going ride, and is perhaps the best suited for the car's day-to-day running. It is, as a result, as capable of long-distance driving as it is for sportier applications.
This particular example is finished in Carmen Red, with a matching leather interior. It has benefitted from an older restoration, including a new fuel tank, and has been well-maintained since, with recent carpet replacement and a good headlining. If you've ever wanted to get behind one of these impeccably stylish cars, here's your opportunity.
