This desirable manual overdrive 3.4-litre MkII was originally supplied to South Africa as a 'Complete Knock Down' car. Finished in Opalescent Light Maroon over parchment leather it is reported to have matching chassis and engine number on the cam cover and has been resident in the UK for approximately the last ten years. Originally finished in Kyalami Red, the colour was changed by Beaulieu Classics prior to acquisition by the vendor. Fitted with Coombs style rear spats it is offered with invoices, show trophies, JDHC certificate and Swansea V5C.

For many, the definitive Jaguar sports Saloon, the MkII was unveiled to the public at the Earls Court Motor Show, London on 21 October 1959. Its combination of svelte good looks, strong performance and gentlemen's club interior has successfully charmed every passing generation. Based around a more sophisticated version of its ‘MK1’ predecessor's monocoque bodyshell it featured notably slimmer roof pillars with a wider track to improve handling characteristics. The immortal Jaguar MkII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle, servo-assisted four wheel 12-inch disc brakes and recirculating ball steering, the model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved and five times Le Mans winning, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. Although, slower on paper than their range-topping 3.8 litre siblings the 3.4 litre cars nonetheless boasted some 210bhp and 216lbft of torque, outputs sufficient to ensure a circa 120mph top speed and spirited acceleration (especially when fitted with the desirable four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox).
