1961 Jaguar MK II

• Iconic British sports saloon with overdrive • Powerful 3.8-litre inline-six engine (3,781 cc) • Good professional restoration carried out • Equipped with electric power steering and small wooden Moto Lita 15" steering wheel – original 16" Derrington wheel included • Electric sliding/tilting sunroof and third brake light • Belgian registration documents

The Jaguar MK2 is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and desirable British sports saloons of the 1960s. Thanks to its timeless design, luxurious finish and strong performance, it appeals equally to enthusiastic drivers and lovers of classic comfort. The 3.8-litre version in particular is renowned for its performance, smoothness and refined driving experience.

Today, a professional restoration of a Jaguar MK2 often represents an investment that can exceed the vehicle’s market value upon resale. As a result, very few examples have been fully restored in recent years. Finding a properly restored and well-presented MK2 at a reasonable price has therefore become increasingly difficult.

This example represents exactly such an attractive opportunity and cannot be compared with cars that remain in older condition or still require a full restoration. Combined with the specifications of the absolute top model (3.8 manual LHD) within the MK2 range, this creates a particularly appealing offer for enthusiasts of British sports saloons.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this vehicle with the following findings.
