Description
This 1961 Jaguar Mark II is a collector-owned example finished in the elegant color combination of Old English White over a striking red interior. A notable feature is its recently installed Webasto sliding sunroof, adding to the charm and open-air enjoyment of this classic British sporting sedan. The Mark II also features a period push-button AM radio and is accompanied by a tool kit.
Classic Showcase has scheduled a comprehensive series of cosmetic and mechanical improvements to prepare the Jaguar to a high-end driver standard. Planned enhancements include a repaint in Old English White, refinishing of the interior wood trim, improvements to the brightwork, new rear window rubber, felt window liners, and a replacement antenna. Our team will also service the mechanical systems and suspension, rebuild the steering system, and perform a thorough cleaning and detailing of the engine compartment and undercarriage. New trunk mats, including a Hardura mat, will complete the luggage compartment. With its attractive color combination, distinguished styling, and Classic Showcase's planned improvements and attention to detail, this Mark II promises to be an appealing example of Jaguar's iconic sporting sedan, well-suited for weekend drives, local automotive events, and the enthusiast who appreciates classic British motoring.
