This attractive Mark II rolled off Jaguar’s Browns Lane production line in late November 1965, finished in Opalescent Silver blue with Dark Blue leather interior trim. Other desirable features of our car include rare Reutter reclining front seats, a high ratio differential, heated rear window, a stainless-steel exhaust system and chromed wire wheels.

The Jaguar has clearly been enjoyed by its owners over the years with the first keeping the car until 1980, and the second for a further 10 years (using it for regular family holidays to Switzerland). In new ownership during the 1990s the Mark II was dry-stored for 6 years, later to be treated to a high quality glass-out repaint in the original colour. The paintwork still presents well, with minor signs of micro-blistering in localised areas due to storage. More recently the Mark II has been maintained by leading specialist Guy Broad. In his care the superior five-speed gearbox was fitted, giving a steady 90mph cruising speed at around 3000rpm. With a recent c. £2,000 Guy Broad service, the car is ready to go.

In the care of just five owners from new, and supplied with a comprehensive file of invoices, most previous MoT certificates dating back to 1969, Heritage Certificate and a large selection of photographs of the previous restoration, this is a very genuine example for the enthusiastic classic car driver.
