The immortal MkII Jaguar remains one of Jaguar's most widely admired Saloons. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MkI forebear, the newcomer was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Comprising a monocoque bodyshell equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a well located live rear axle and disc brakes all round, it could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proven 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 was remarkable for the price - these cars punched above their weight.

‘GJG 775D’ is a desirable 3.4 litre example mated to a manual transmission. Subject to an older restoration finished circa 1999, this particular example, previously grey, is now presented in an elegant combination of Indigo Blue with contrasting red leather upholstery. Offered with just 70,647 miles on the odometer and 4 keepers on the V5C document, this charming MkII Jaguar is offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased by the vendor in 2004. In its current ownership, 'GJG 775D' has been largely self maintained by its ex Jaguar mechanic owner, and was subject to an engine overhaul in 2007. The vendor notes that there was no wear on the crankshaft at this time, thus supporting the belief that the mileage displayed is genuine. The total cost of this overhaul was £3,784.

Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file containing 22 MOT certificates dating back as far as 1981, with an MOT every year in its current ownership. Also included is a heritage certificate confirming its original engine is present, workship manual, parts catalogue, new handbook, Jaguar MKI & MKII book by James Taylor, 2 sets of keys and some photographs of the vehicle in primer and top coat during its restoration in previous ownership. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, transmission and interior trim as 'Very Good', with the paintwork 'Good'.
