Basic Information & Background
The Jaguar Mark II is a sports sedan that was a favorite with bank robbers and policemen alike, but was mostly aimed at the upper class who needed a bigger car with sports car performance! This car was delivered new to the first owner here in Sweden with the 3.4L engine of 210 hp and a really nice and unique spec. The Pearl Gray paint provides a really nice contrast to the lipstick red leather upholstery and you get a lot of looks. The car has only had 5 owners, all of whom have been great enthusiasts, one of the most recent of which gave the car a solid renovation.
The renovation took place in 2015 - 2019 and was well documented in book form with a lot of pictures of all the work for those interested and you can also see them in the album below!
Condition
Exterior: The car has driven a couple of thousand km after the renovation, which you can also see from the condition. The chrome is in top condition with i.a. new original front and rear bumpers that break nicely against the light gray paint. The paintwork is in good condition but there are a couple of minor remarks that can be seen in the pictures, but the car presents itself very well! A couple of minor flakes and marks are documented in the pictures.
