1960 Jaguar MK 2
Price: $39,995
Vin: P218501DN
Mileage: 71,352
Color: Black
Interior Color: Black
Trans: Manual Overdrive
This 1960 Jaguar MK 2 is a car we have known for nearly forty years. It's an original San Luis Obispo car still wearing its black plate and original Lucksinger license plate frame which came from the original dealer. The car is believed to have 71,352 original miles on it, drives beautifully, and is honestly one of the nicest-driving MK 2s we've ever seen. The car has never suffered from any accidents and has just a very minor amount of rust in the lower portion of the front fenders, which you can see in the photos. This is an original black-on-black car which is a very rare and attractive color combo. The paint is older and still shows very nicely, but on close inspection, has some cracking in several areas which you can see in the photos. The body on this car is exceptional. The upholstery is all freshly restored by BAS Jaguar Trim, and is done to a very high, show-quality standard. All BAS does is Jaguar, so it's done completely correct and is a very high-end job. The wood has also been fully restored by Madera Concepts, and is perfectly restored. The full interior restoration on this car is gorgeous and not a low-end job by any means. The car drives beautifully and has been updated with rack-and-pinion steering, which is a significant upgrade. The car is all-matching-numbers and came from the factory with four-speed overdrive. The car comes with the original owner's manual and tool kit that is still in place in the spare wheel tray. Jaguar MK 2s as nice as this rarely come available.

This 1961 Jaguar Mk II is powered by a 3.8-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential and is finished in black over a black interior. Equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels with hubcaps, power steering, a stainless-steel exhaust system, front bucket seats, and an AM/FM radio. This Mk II was acquired by the current owner in 2021 and is now offered on dealer consignment with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, spare parts, and a clean California title, listing it as a 1963 model year.
The car came finished from the factory in black and was repainted some time ago. Exterior equipment includes a Leaper hood ornament, a pop-up cowl vent, and chrome wraparound bumpers with overriders as well as a chrome grille, window surrounds, trim, and dual exhaust outlets. Rust in the left rear door jamb is visible only when the door is open, and the seller notes that the chrome is aged. The exterior left rear door handle doesn’t work.
The 15″ steel wheels feature hubcaps and are mounted with 185HR15 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The car was factory equipped with an independent front suspension and a cantilevered live rear axle. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. Power-assisted steering has been added.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in black upholstery along with color-coordinated door panels. Burl walnut veneers adorn the dashboard, door caps, and window frames, and interior equipment includes a heater, an AM/FM radio, lap belts, and front and rear vent windows.
The two-spoke steering wheel has cracks and fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and centrally positioned auxiliary gauges displaying water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.8-liter inline-six was factory rated at 220 horsepower and 237 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed and the battery was replaced in June 2025.
Cylinder head stamping LB6782-8 and a corresponding number is stamped on the engine block and listed on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a limited-slip differential. A stainless-steel exhaust system and headers have been installed.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory colors and serial numbers along with a build date of September 28, 1961.
