The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
Lot 93
 

1960 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre
Highly desirable manual specification

Registration – XSK 340

Chassis No. – A208963

M.O.T. – June 2026

Odometer – 80,750

Presented in Old English White with a beautifully contrasting red interior, this early example displays the elegance and period charm for which the series is so well regarded. The vendor informs us that the car has been well maintained and remains in appealing, largely original condition throughout. The cabin features rich red leather upholstery, matching seat belts, and superbly preserved walnut veneers across the dashboard and door cappings. The odometer shows 80,750 miles at the time of cataloguing.

Under the bonnet, the 3.8-litre straight-six engine presents cleanly, with the car starting and running during photography. A box of new and used spares is supplied in the boot, offering useful support for future upkeep. The exterior chrome, brightwork and panel fit all present well, reflecting careful preservation rather than recent restoration.

Launched as a sporting saloon capable of genuine high performance, the 3.8-litre version quickly became the model of choice, renowned for its combination of pace, refinement and grace. These cars remain highly desirable for their driving character and unmistakable styling, increasingly appreciated as one of the marque’s most iconic designs.

• Well-presented example finished in Old English White with red interior
• 3.8-litre engine; starts and runs during photography; supplied with spares
• Long-admired sporting saloon showing 80,750 miles
