Auction description:

Global Icons: Europe Online

1961 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8-Litre

Estimate:€30.000 - €40.000

Offered from a private collection

Chassis No. 218979DN

Engine No. LB78839

Desirably powered by the top-of-the-line 3.8-liter inline-six mated to a sporting four-speed manual transmission with overdrive

Finished in Opalescent Silver Grey over a dashing burgundy leather interior

A well-presented example restored under prior ownership

Jaguar's iconic sporting sedan in its ultimate specification

Presented in Opalescent Silver Grey over a rich Burgundy leather cabin, this 1961 Mark II 3.8 exemplifies the timeless appeal of Jaguar's seminal sports saloon. This left-drive car is in the ultimate configuration for the enthusiast, combining the 3.8-litre XK engine with a four-speed manual gearbox and Laycock overdrive. Previous owners report this car was in the Los Angeles, California area when it was restored some years ago, and was later offered by Heritage Classics Motorcar Company. It was brought to Europe in the early 2000s, and since 2009 it has been in the care of a single private owner, its restoration ageing gracefully over the years. The well-appointed cabin features attractive leather upholstery, a correct original steering wheel, and period-correct Motorola radio. Ownership history, previous registrations, and a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate are on file.

While in current ownership, this handsome Jaguar has seen limited use over the past decade years mainly remaining on static display in the current owner's collection, and while it is reported to run well at the time of this writing, further recommissioning may be required before enjoying it on the road, where it will undoubtedly be a most appealing example of Jaguar's genre-defining sports saloon.

Sold Price:€26.400
