Description

The Jaguar Mark II was an improvement on the Mark I and entered production later in 1959. The relatively narrow rear track, which had been the subject of criticism although it did not significantly affect handling road of the car, was widened thanks to the installation of a new drive axle.

The front and rear suspension design remains unchanged except for necessary changes to geometry. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard, and a limited-slip differential has been added for the 3.8-liter engine model. Options included Normanville's Laycock electric overdrive for manual cars, automatic transmission and power steering.

Above the beltline, the changes are subtle but significant. Sir William Lyons and his team increased the glass area by 18% by widening the windshield and significantly enlarging the rear window. Likewise, the side windows were enlarged and the rear quarter windows took on the shape of the Jaguar 'D' which would become a familiar feature of other Jaguar cars.

The interior of the car has remained faithful to the design of the original Mark I, but has been enhanced, retaining the irresistible impression of being surrounded by walnut wood veneer whilst being wrapped in sumptuous leather. If you weren't completely captivated by the car's exterior appearance, you were practically guaranteed to fall in love with the interior, and to keep everyone happy, the heater was installed in the rear of the car. cabin to provide luxurious comfort for everyone.

The Jaguar Mark II was manufactured with three engine options, the 2.4 liter and 3.4 liter carried over from the Mark I and a new 3.8 liter. The 2.4 liter version equipped with two Solex carburettors developed 120 hp, the 3.4 liter version equipped with two SU HD6 carburettors developed 210 hp, while the 3.8 liter version also equipped with two SU HD6 carburetors developed 220 hp under the driver's right foot. The Jaguar Mark II shared its 210 hp 3.4 liter engine with the 3.4 liter Jaguar XK150 SE and its 220 hp 3.8 liter engine with the 3.8 liter XK150 SE.

The Jaguar Mark II remained in production until September 1967, when the 3.8 liter version was withdrawn from the market and the 2.4 liter and 3.4 liter models were renamed the Jaguar 240 and 340. The 240 and 340 were discontinued models intended to use the remaining stock of Mark II parts and fill the void while the world eagerly awaited the new Jaguar XJ6, which was scheduled to debut in September 1968.

The version presented here is a European version, in left-hand drive, in a mechanical gearbox with overdrive, power steering and with the 3.4L 210 hp engine! The car was restored, without having precise traces of the work carried out. The paint is in very good condition, the mechanics run perfectly and the gearbox is faultless. The interior is also impeccable.

Decoding the chassis number shows that it is a Jaguar Mark II equipped with a 3.4 XK engine, left-hand drive and a manual gearbox with DeNormanville overdrive. This Jaguar Mark II was number 133 of 247 vehicles manufactured in 1965 in the United Kingdom.
