⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Show-condition 1962 Jaguar Mark 2 auctioned with all proceeds donated to Cancer Research UK.

*** Long-term owner George has generously chosen to support Cancer Research UK by donating his beloved classic Jaguar - every penny of the hammer price and half of the commission from this auction will go directly toward funding life-saving research.***

Evolving from its predecessor, the Jaguar Mark2 redefined the high-performance executive market. Sir William Lyons perfected its timeless styling, introducing a sleek, glass-heavy cabin alongside elegant chrome details. Widely legendary as both the definitive choice for discerning professionals and a touring car racing champion, its advanced chassis development and athletic XK engine cemented a fierce reputation, making it Britain’s most iconic sixties sports saloon.

The legendary 3.8-litre twin-cam XK engine delivers muscular, effortless performance, pulling strongly from low revs with a massive wave of mid-range torque. When paired with its advanced chassis design, the car handles with sports-car urgency while offering a remarkably smooth, well-insulated ride. The addition of servo-assisted disc brakes ensures confident, modern stopping power, perfectly balancing raw mechanical athletic capability with the refined, luxurious comfort of a classic British touring saloon.

This beautifully presented 1962 Jaguar MKII 3.8 is fitted with a factory-fitted overdrive manual gearbox. Finished in metallic silver with a pristine blue leather interior, it has been in the hands of the current owner for 35 years and comes with an impressive file of invoices, notes to suggest an extensive engine rebuild and photos of body renovations. It has seen over £12,500 worth of mechanical upkeep in the past three years, having been serviced fewer than 100 miles ago, and it includes its service manual and owner's handbook. Sold with its original dateless cherished plate, this car will be auctioned, with all of the proceeds going directly to Cancer Research UK, plus half of the Buyer's Premium.

The comes with two keys and is both MOT and road tax exempt.
