The Background
The Jaguar Mark 2 is a midsize luxury sports saloon built from late 1959 to 1967 by Jaguar.
The Mark 2 came with a number of engine options with this model being the 3.4litre variant which pushed out 210 bhp (157 kW; 213 PS), which is not to be sniffed at today let alone in 1967. The head of the six-cylinder engine in the Mark 2 had curved ports compared to the straight ports of the E-Type configuration. The 3.4 Litre cars were fitted with twin SU HD6 carburetors.

The History
This particular MK2 Jag has been in the current owner's possession for 36 years. In this time the current owner and his family have enjoyed many holidays in it , crossing many countries across Europe and visiting Le Mans more times than can be counted.

The car has been maintained regardless of cost and has all of the necessary paperwork to back the history up. Unfortunately due to lack of use the owner has decided its time to part with it.

The car has seen a fresh respray some years ago and an interior retrim circa 11 years ago and it looks all the better for it.

The Paperwork
The V5C is present and a huge stack of receipts/invoices for all the work carried out over the years. The car does have a vast amount of history behind it which is well documented.

The Interior
The interior on this vehicle is in fantastic condition having benefited from a retrim circa 11 years ago and has seen little use since. The black leather seats are particularly clean with no wear.

There are all of the period correct fixtures and fittings as would be expected in a 1967 MK2 Jag and the leather plus wood trim has a really classy feel about it.

The only item that currently has a fault is the clock (time, not mileage)

The Exterior
The exterior of this vehicle has seen fresh paint some years ago in 1995. As you can see from the photos the paintwork has been kept in fine condition since then and still looks stunning in the original British Racing Green.

The chromework is in great condition too with minimal pitting and the chrome wire wheels are in very good condition. The rear bumper does have two extra holes where a tow bar once sat.

There are a few minor 10p sized dings as pictured. These have not broken the paint.

The Mechanics
Mechanically the car is in well maintained condition and receipts are present for regular servicing and maintenance. There are no awkward knocks or bangs and she fires up on the button and sounds great.

The engine did have an overhaul around 8/9 years ago with some corrective cylinder head work.
