1962 Jaguar MK2

STK 3661 1962 Jaguar MK2

The world was introduced to the sports saloon in 1955 by the very successful Jaguar Mk1. Four years later, the Mk2 was launched and approximately 85,000 were produced. The Jaguar Mk2 was once considered the fastest saloon vehicle in the world \'the pre-eminent criminal getaway-car of the day\'. This 1962 Jaguar Mk2 sedan appears to have lived a very good, crime-free life and is in outstanding condition. It has been the beneficiary of a careful, older, restoration and the owner states that the mileage shown, 32,600, is actual. The Opalescent Blue exterior was professionally refinished in 2016, all chrome is in good nick and factory wire wheels mount new 15\" Vredestein Sprint Classic radials. The original Connelly Red leather interior is stunning. Accents include \'book-matched\' burl wood walnut dash/trim, Wilton wool carpeting/headliner, rear tray tables, analogue gauges, AM radio and telescoping wheel. Window glass is in good condition (crank windows) and there are pairs of front/rear \'venting windows\'.

Horsepower is furnished by a matching numbers 3.8-liter DOHC in-line 6-cylinder fitted w/factory aluminum head and dual side-draft SU carbs that were recently refreshed. It was rated at 220hp and 245lb/ft of torque - this was the Jaguar XKE motor less one carb and about 25hp. Torque is transferred to a rebuilt (2016) four-speed manual gearbox w/OD. The Mk2 has power steering and manual 4-wheel disc brakes. Recent maintenance done by a Jaguar restoration firm included new Lucas starter, fuel pump, battery and front wheel bearings. There is also a reproduction Owner\'s Manual, documentation folder and the extremely rare original jack and tool kit. This is a beautiful, classic Jaguar Mk2 sedan that will soon find a new home. ALL VEHICLES SOLD \"AS IS\".
