Jaguar - MK2 3.8 - 1962

• Electric glass sliding roof • Wanted 3. 8 • Optional fog lights • Disc brakes The Jaguar Mk 2 was a mid-sized sedan built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2. 4 and 3. 4 liter models. The Mk 2 was a manageable, powerful and steerable sedan offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin-cam engines; 2. 4 litres, 3. 4 liters or 3. 8 litres. From the outside, it actually looked exactly like the Mk I, but closer inspection reveals that the differences are greater than it initially appears. The car has been subtly improved in all areas. Partly thanks to the larger windows and thinner window bars, the car got a more open character. The increased track width due to a wider rear axle compared to the Mk I in combination with the modified front suspension improved road holding. Changes have also been made to the interior. For example, the tachometer and speedometer have been moved to a position directly in front of the driver instead of the traditional place in the center of the dashboard. The new steering wheel with half ring for the horn is also introduced with the Mk II. In addition, it was equipped with the new Dunlop disc brakes all round instead of drum brakes. The 220 hp 3. 8-litre engine variant has become the most sought-after. Obviously the performance was excellent and the Mk II has had great success on the track and can still be a very competitive historic race car. Raced by famous names such as Stirling Moss, Bruce Mc. Laren Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk II achieved many successes on tracks and car races in both Europe and the United States, thanks to the good controllability and high torque of the 3. 8 XK engine. The special thing about the Mk 2 is that almost everyone knows this Jaguar. Plenty of memories will be evoked (thanks in part to inspector Morse) when a Mk 2 drives by. In addition, the model is known as one of the best driving cars in its class at the time. And today it is still a pleasant driving car. Its particularly sporty driving characteristics in combination with the excellent everyday usability make the car a pleasant and comfortable travel companion to this day. And the nostalgia in combination with the good driving performance ensures a wide smile for the driver and passengers every ride The beautiful color scheme of the gray 'Gunmetal' paint in combination with the red leather interior makes this car a feast for the eyes. The quality of both the interior and the paint is still very nice. Outside the red leather interior there was the Walnut wooden dashboard and details that complete it. The highly sought-after 3. 8 6-cylinder comes standard with disc brakes. Very special for a sedan from that time. The disc brakes are very effective. This is reflected in the 'Disc brakes' badge on the back. Power brakes also apply. Also present are the optional fog lamps. Under the car is a new stainless steel exhaust. In the trunk you will find the spare wheel together with the original jack. A neat Gentleman's Express in the most popular 3. 8 liter version and color scheme!
