"One of the most impressive sights today is the rapid and purposeful progress of a Mark 2 Jaguar on a motorway, eating up the miles in the fast lane. Like the nose of a bullet, the rounded frontal shape looks right for high speed, and the sheer velocity attained is usually exhilarating." - Autocar. One of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mk2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. With the advent of the Mk2, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon, which in top-of-the-range, 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration was a genuine 125mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, outstanding figures for a saloon of its size even by today's standards. This superbly presented example of the Jaguar Mk2 in its ultimate, 3.8-litre, overdrive-equipped form is known to have been resident in the West Country during the 1970s and early 1980s before being taken in 1984 to Ireland where it has remained ever since. Restored in 1996 and finished most attractively in blue with matching leather interior, the car is described by the private vendor as in very good condition throughout and offered with Jaguar service book, maintenance chart, handbook and voucher books - all in the original Jaguar wallet together with sundry correspondence - plus Swansea V5 registration document.
