Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 1962 / Manual

Made famous by its four consecutive victories in the Tour Auto with Bernard Consten, the Jaguar Mk2 was considered "the most beautiful car in the world". or "the fastest production saloon in the world".

This Jaguar MK2, sold new in France by the then importer Delecroix, is in superb condition.
Restored to body a few years ago, the numerous invoices attest to very regular maintenance. The paintwork and door adjustments are absolutely perfect, and this Jaguar is ready to cover many kilometres in extraordinary comfort.

On deck, the longitudinal members, engine mount, wheel arches and floorboards are in superb condition. The disc brakes (optimised) are very good, the car braking totally hard and straight.

Oil pressure is within the manufacturer's recommendations, both hot and cold. The engine revs well with a characteristic noise and has a stable idle, without overheating. Starting is easy, both hot and cold (automatic starter). The gearbox is very pleasant, and the gears don't creak when shifting. The overdrive engages perfectly.

The car's exterior is in superb condition. The chrome is new, as are the spoked wheels and central butterfly valve. The spare wheel is of course fitted. The paintwork is magnificent, with a very nice finish. The door adjustments are also very good.

The interior of this car is in superb condition, having just been completely refurbished by the upholsterer.
Note, however, the roof lining that is slackening around the rear window.
