For many the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the range-topping 3.8 boasted nearly seven times the horsepower of a Mini 850 and a 126mph top speed! After many years of renovation and development experience with the Jaguar MKII, Vicarage Ltd have become one of the foremost exponents of upgraded examples with an envious international reputation and waiting list to match for their modified cars. Painstaking attention to detail and craftsmanship of the highest standard are exemplified in their products being able to offer an envious driving experience even under modern road and traffic conditions.

Commissioned in 1988 by Sir Evelyn De Rothschild as a gift for his wife at a cost of c.£71,000 (nearly £200k in today's money), NSU 814’s impressive specification includes a metal sunroof, 3-speed automatic transmission, central locking, Coombs-style wheel arches, Jaguar XJ Series 3 seats, Pioneer stereo and climate control. Finished in dark blue with red leather interior and black carpets, it has been in current ownership for the past 18 years. This impressive Vicarage MkII is offered with assorted correspondence and numerous invoices evidencing over £21000 of expenditure in 22 years. It is also accompanied by a letter from Sir Evelyn regarding his purchase, a Swansea V5c document and current MoT to July 2026.
