This Jaguar MK 2 is a remarkable rust-free California car that has been well preserved throughout it's life. The original owner bought this Mark 2 in San Diego in 1960 and enjoyed it for 47 years until he was too old to drive. It features and is offered with the iconic California " black plates". I love the deep lustre of the black paint. The combination of the black livery and red vinyl interior accented with loads of burled walnut is stunning. This is a remarkable mix of sporty and luxury with the refinement of a Jaguar. The glass. Chrome and stainless steel trim are all in good and excellent condition. The original owner embarked on a cosmetic updating using the original colour combination. While now showing some patina. the car is beautiful with only a few chips. small scratches and one silver dollar sized upward impression in the trunk lid ( boot). The paint has a gorgeous lustre to it. The interior is equally beautiful. The red vinyl is in excellent condition throughout. The odometer shows 72. 50 miles. Which I believe is the true mileage. Mechanically this motorcar is in very nice condition with no known defects. Everything works as it should and it is a pleasure to drive. ( note: the power antennae is not operational and needs replacement)There are no unusual noises and no smoke is emitted from the exhaust. Amazingly. there are no known leaks!!This Mark 2 features the largest engine option. the venerable 3. 8 litre dual overhead cam aluminum six cylinder with 220 bhp featured the twin SU HD6 carburetors. The 3. 8 litre engine is paired to the optional Borg- Warner automatic transmission and limited slip differential. The 3. 8 litre MK2 were tested to 125mph. making it an incredible touring car. The original steel wheel disc brakes are complimented by Goodyear Invicta radials. Included in the sale are the car cover. owners manual. shop manual and a few spare parts. It is rare to find a two owner MK2. It is almost impossible to find a first owner for 47 years and a rust free California car with the original "black plates" in this condition. I have had the car transported to my home in Vancouver BC last month but will be more than happy to drive it to Baline Washington ( near Seattle) to meet your transport. Please email me for any additional information. You will not be disappointed.
