Jaguar Mark II 1961 - 4-Door

2 Previous Owners, This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Pace of Autumn; Ascot Racecourse sale on Saturday 20th September. Manual transmission. Low ownership. The 1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 is widely regarded as the ultimate version of Jaguars legendary sports saloon. Equipped with the powerful 3.8-litre straight-six engine, shared with the XK150 and early E-Type, it delivered thrilling performance with a top speed of over 120 mph. Its elegant curves, refined wood-and-leather interior, and superb handling made it a favourite among enthusiasts, racers, and even the police. Combining luxury with speed, the Mk. II 3.8 remains one of Jaguars most iconic classics.This handsome Jaguar was originally registered in June 1961 and presents well in restored white coachwork with a matching, retrimmed white interior piped in red and red carpets. Both the woodwork and the chrome are in good order as is the engine bay and really complement this stunning example. Our vendor is only the third owner of this iconic Jaguar which has been in his possession since 2009. The restoration works were completed during his tenure. The file for this Jaguar contains various bills and receipts and the current V5c registration document. This big engined Mk. II has seen little use in recent years and is only being sold due to an imminent house move and loss of parking space. The estimate appears extremely reasonable given the recent figures achieved for similar examples. Consigned by Dominic Lake
