Description

June 2, 2025 Update: We’re pleased to report that the restoration of this highly original, limited ownership, numbers-matching, show-level 1964 Jaguar MKII Sedan is now complete, and is currently undergoing final road testing and evaluation. Restored to our Show/Driver level by our team of master craftsmen, this MKII also benefits from a number of thoughtful performance and comfort upgrades that make it equally enjoyable on the road or at your favorite concours.

This original California Jaguar has remained in the Western United States and proved to be a great candidate for restoration. Our team began with a full strip-down to bare metal, followed by rotisserie mounting, metal finishing, leading, and precise body and chrome fit. The sedan was then sealed and painted in a striking Metallic Silver finish, complemented by a newly trimmed Dark Blue interior crafted in correct materials by our in-house Master Trimmer.

The MKII’s matching-numbers 3.8-liter engine was completely rebuilt and tested on our engine station before installation, and the restoration also included a conversion to a 5-speed transmission, and full refurbishment of the fuel, electrical, cooling, and hydraulic systems. The car’s chrome was re-plated as needed, and numerous upgrades were integrated to improve driveability and comfort while preserving the car’s classic appeal.

Features and Upgrades Include:

• Air Conditioning
• Upgraded 5-Speed Transmission
• Fully Restored Wood Interior Trim
• Sound Deadening for a quieter ride
• Alloy Radiator
• Gear Reduction Starter
• New Stainless Steel Exhaust System
• Retrosound Stereo System with Bluetoothv
• (4) custom-installed Speakers in perforated upholstery with no grills
• Chrome Wire Wheels

This newly completed MKII is accompanied by an MP4 pictorial video that documents the restoration from start to finish. With its elegant presentation, great upgrades, and a comprehensive, no-expense-spared restoration performed by our expert team, this Jaguar stands as one of the finest restored Mark 2 sedans available today. Every system, surface, and component was carefully addressed to ensure not only visual excellence but mechanical integrity and long-term drivability as well. An example truly fit for the discerning collector seeking a top-tier MKII that offers both show-level quality and road-ready refinement!

History

Adhering to William Lyons' maxim of "grace, pace and space", the Mark II was a beautiful, fast and capable saloon car. It came with a 2.4 L, 3.4 L or 3.8 L Jaguar XK6 engine. The 3.8 is similar to the unit used in the 3.8 E-Type (XKE), having a different inlet manifold and carburetion (two SUs versus three on the E-Type in Europe) and therefore 30 bhp less. The head of the six cylinder engine in the E-Type was also different with its "straight port" layout as opposed to the slightly curved ports of the Mark II. The Mark II model was raced successfully in the European Touring Car Championship.
