Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MKI forebear, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well-located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round 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, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, comprehensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price.

Over the winter of 2016 FWU 239C has undergone extensive exterior and interior restoration to a high standard. The car features a reconditioned 3.4 litre engine and Moss gearbox, replacement interior and new carpets. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of metallic grey contrasted by a red leather interior, the vendor describes the bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission as being in "excellent" condition and informs us the clutch was replaced in June 2016. Offered with Swansea V5C document and MoT to May 2017, this attractive Mk2 also benefits from the fitment of a new centre console and is said to be "very reliable".
