History
“One of the most impressive sights today is the rapid and purposeful progress of a Mark 2 Jaguar on a motorway, eating up the miles in the fast lane. Like the nose of a bullet, the rounded frontal shape looks right for high speed, and the sheer velocity attained is usually exhilarating.” – Autocar.
One of the most readily recognized cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar’s seminal MK2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts.
With Dunlop disc brakes all around and a choice or 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8-liter (the same that had won at LeMans in 1951 and 1953) XK engines, provided the discerning, driver with one of the finest sports saloons available in the 1960s. In its ultimate, 3.8 liter, overdrive-equipped form, the MK2 could reach 125mph while achieving 60mph in 8.5 seconds, impressive figures for a saloon of its size even by today’s standards. Although there was a slight performance penalty with the optional Borg-Warner automatic transmission installed, the 3.8 in this form was an increasingly popular choice, especially in the North American market.
