The Appeal

Much like what is said of the 1.6-litre 205 GTi versus its 1.9 sibling, it's the smaller 3.4-litre Jaguar XK engine that is regarded as the smoothest and sweetest in the Mk2 range. The free-revving 3.4-litre Mk2, in manual/overdrive (MOD) guise, could still reach 120mph and was also known to consume less oil than its 3.8 counterpart.
Six decades on, they still feel genuinely quick, making them highly usable even on 21st-century roads, and those William Lyons lines look as graceful as ever. We're delighted to present this lovely 1966 example, a matching-numbers, UK right-hand drive car finished in Silver Blue Metallic over Navy Blue hide.
With just three former registered keepers, this Jag has led a sheltered life. The paintwork presents well for an older restoration, while the original hide interior has aged gracefully alongside carpets, headlining, and wood veneer that are all reported to be in good order. A power steering kit from SNG Barratt has been fitted, and the original radio has been modernised to receive FM via a new speaker.
Recently serviced by Jaguar specialists and with a recently obtained MOT, this Mk2 is described as ready to drive away and enjoy.
