1960 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8
Desirable manual transmission with overdrive

Registration – TBC

Chassis No. – TBC

M.O.T. – TBC

Odometer – TBC

Jaguar’s Mk II 3.8 is widely regarded as the definitive sporting saloon of the 1960s, combining grace, pace and space in one very handsome package. Finished in a rich maroon hue over a contrasting light leather interior and riding on chrome wire wheels, this example certainly looks the part.

Under the bonnet sits the coveted 3.8-litre XK straight-six engine, paired here with the equally desirable manual gearbox with overdrive – widely considered the enthusiast’s choice, and a specification that adds to the car’s appeal with collectors.

The boot contains a selection of new and replacement parts, including braking and hub components, suggesting recent expenditure and ongoing improvement. Accompanying the Jaguar is a history file with South African paperwork and assorted invoices and literature, providing useful background and a basis for further research.

A handsome 3.8-litre Mk II in attractive colours and desirable manual-overdrive guise, ready to be enjoyed as-is and improved to the next level as time and inclination allow.

  • Sought-after 3.8-litre Mk II with manual gearbox and overdrive

  • Attractive maroon over light leather with chrome wire wheels

  • Supplied with parts in the boot and a file of South African paperwork and invoices
