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. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque bodyshell design which was to set the tone for the coming decade. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its ‘MKI’ forebear 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.
Restored from a bare metal shell in 2002, this automatic transmission example appears well cared for since and is finished with Golden Sand paintwork. The interior, retrimmed in 2021, is said to boast a very good, veneered dash, with caramel leather seats and a fresh carpet set, with the benefit of added sound deadening to make the ride even more refined. We understand that photographic evidence is present within the bound history file. Upgraded to power-assisted steering in 2017, the carburettors were overhauled in 2021 and the gearbox oil changed at this time. Offered with a collection of old MOTs, tax discs and invoices, there is also an original Jaguar service policy slip and a current V5c document.
