www.historics.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-1965-jaguar-mk-ii-24-litre/

28th Nov, 2026 The Brooklands Velocity; Mercedes-Benz World

1965 Jaguar Mk. II (2.4 litre)

Estimate £8,000 - £12,000

Registration: NTB 171C

Chassis No: 118936DN

Odometer: 38,179

Desirable manual gearbox with overdrive

Considerable mechanical attention in recent years, including replacement gearbox

Regularly used by the current owner

Finished in an attractive shade of Opalescent Silver Blue with a dark blue leather interior, this example has a particularly appealing presence. The interior shows some age and patina, and could benefit from attention in places, but retains a pleasing sense of originality and charm. The car is accompanied by its original buff logbook, historic MoT test certificates and a collection of invoices documenting work carried out over the years.

The car has benefited from considerable mechanical attention in recent years, including work to the engine, clutch, fuel pump and brakes, as well as the fitting of a reconditioned gearbox. The car has been used regularly by the current owner and is reported to run very well, having been enjoyed as intended, including virtually daily use in London and a trip to Paris this summer without fault. The Mk. II offers an increasingly attractive entry point into classic Jaguar ownership, with the smaller-engined 2.4 providing all the familiar styling and character of its more powerful siblings. With its appealing colour combination and charming presentation, this is an honest and inviting example of Jaguar's much-loved sporting saloon. Consigned by Fraser Smith
