Description

Classic Showcase is pleased to offer this striking numbers-matching 1962 Jaguar Mark II right hand drive example, that has been restored to a Show-Driver level by professional Jaguar restorers.

1962 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8-Litre Saloon

Registration no. to be advised

Chassis no. P216725DN

Engine no. LB6575-11

• Top-of-the-range Mark 2

• Attractive colour combination

• No-expense-spared restoration

• Numerous engine, transmission and running gear upgrades

Representing the Jaguar Mk2 in its ultimate incarnation, this particular car has been extensively restored and upgraded with the aim of increasing engine power output as well as improving the driving characteristics with modern equipment. Rebuilt utilising a correct 1961 date-coded cylinder block, the engine boasts an increased compression ratio of 11.0:1; matched intake and exhaust ports; fuel injection with individual throttle bodies; upgraded ignition and coils; high-volume oil circulation; an aluminium radiator by Ron Davis; milled XJ6 cylinder head with modified water passages; Isky performance camshaft; custom polished and tuned stainless exhaust manifolds; dual exhaust system; lightened aluminium flywheel; and a balanced crankshaft damper.

The original Moss four-speed gearbox has been replaced with a more modern five-speed unit. The running gear likewise has been enhanced with many modern components to help improve both driving dynamics and safety. The brakes have been upgraded using larger ventilated discs gripped by four-piston brake callipers, making for greatly improved stopping power. The hydraulic system has been improved and stainless steel brake lines fitted in place of the original rubber lines. The suspension has all new rubber bushes, Koni shock absorbers, and larger-diameter anti-roll bars to improve both ride and handling. Topping this off is an improved steering rack for a more responsive feel.

The body, attractively finished in Opalescent Silver Blue, was carefully disassembled before receiving primer, base coat, clear coat and, finally, sanding and buffing to create the stunning finish seen today. New rubbers and seals were installed, while the interior received new beige leather, new panels, and new custom-made Wilton wool carpets. The plentiful interior wood trim has been restored and is in beautiful condition, while the interior and exterior brightwork has been re-plated. The interior also received a sound system upgrade featuring a Sony cassette head unit up front and a Sony CD changer in the back.

The recently deceased owner purchased the Jaguar at Bonhams' Scottsdale auction in January 2022 (Lot 78), since when it has been brought back to the UK; it has a NOVA certificate but not a current V5C document. Since arriving in the UK the car has been kept at the owner's premises and regularly started by his mechanic to keep it in running condition, though it has never been driven on public roads since the owner's passing. Accompanying items include a special build binder, tool kit, jack, write-up, software user guide, engine manual, Sony radio instructions, photograph album, and a DVD documenting the engine.
