1960 JAGUAR MARK 2 3.8 LITRE - FULLY RESTORED & BREATHTAKING
Extensive restorations over many, many years has created an absolutely beautiful Mark 2
This 1960 Jaguar Mk II was refurbished under prior ownership with work including an overhaul of the 3.8-liter inline-six, a repaint in blue, an interior re-trim, and the installation of Wilwood front disc brakes in addition to a GM four-speed automatic transmission. Further equipment an aluminum radiator, dark blue leather upholstery, burl wood trim, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a JVC CD stereo, 123ignition distributor, 15″ wire wheels with new hubs. The sale includes owner’s manual, service manual, refurbishment records, various spare parts, a spare set of four Minilite-style wheels. The car has a clear Montana title in the seller’s name.
The car was finished in yellow prior to it being repainted in blue following sheet metal repairs during the aforementioned refurbishment in 2014. The paitwork is spectacular and gorgeous. I install new chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels from SMG Barret secured with two-eared knock-off spinners and a set of 205/70 Michelin Defender tires (the spare is a Yokohama Ascend LX. Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood front calipers. Note that I have a brand new in-the-box M & C Wilkinson electric assisted rack-and-pinion steering conversion kit that is included in the sale.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in dark blue leather, and burl wood trim accents the dash, window surrounds, and upper doors. Coco floor mats line the footwells, and appointments include a heater, three-point seatbelts for the front occupants, lap belts for the rear occupants, rear picnic trays, and a JVC CD stereo. There is a scuff on the carpet and I'm not happy with the seatbelts operation so a set of aftermarket belts are included if you want to install them.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline as well as an inset clock. Additional readouts for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are centrally mounted in the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 125 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.8-liter inline-six was overhauled under prior ownership (see receipts) and features dual SU carburetors, a 123ignition distributor, and an aluminum radiator. From the photos and receipts I see that the dash and engine wireing harnesses were replaced..
The factory transmission has been removed and replaced with a GM 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. A stainless steel exhaust system is installed and the underside is completely detailed and beautiful!
In my opinion the carbureators need to be rebuilt because there the idle is rough and it seems that the rear cylinders lack enough fuel. Off idle and driving the engine is as smooth as I expect. Compression is great and replacing the ignition helped considerable, but probably still needs carb rebuilds.
I am selling because I have a few old Rolls Royces and prefer to drive and tinker with those. This was a dream car that I have enjoyed..
