With a nod to a more classic era of English motoring, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is happy to offer this 1961 Jaguar Mark 2 Saloon. Previously used as a special event vehicle for weddings and on Sundays, the previous owner drove this car for 17 years!

Finished in classic Old English White, the carandrsquo;s paint is in good order but there are minor blemishes visible during a close-up inspection such as rock chips, etc. The carandrsquo;s windows are intact and clear and otherwise in good shape. The carandrsquo;s lights are in very good shape, crack- and haze-free and its bumpers are in decent shape after all these years. This cat rolls on Goodyear Vector tires, size 195/75R15, surrounding steel wheels topped by Jaguar hubcaps that display some patina after all these years. In addition, some of the exterior trim pieces show blemishing but the body panels are all straight.

The 3.8L engine was released in 1958. It retained the 3.4Landrsquo;s bore centers and a 4.2-inch stroke but was bored out to 3.4-inches for a total displacement of 3,781cc. The 3.8L had a number of detail differences from the 3.4L, particularly in its valve gear and carburetion.

The previous owner, out of Louisville Kentucky, in September 2000, replaced brake cylinder; in October 2001, replaced front shocks, lubricated timing chain and serviced transmission; in April 2002, replaced the front brake pads and sway bar links; in January 2005, replaced rear springs, flushed transmission fluid, made heat shield for oil; in December 2006, the exhaust manifolds were replaced and new exhaust added from manifolds back; in 2008, the engine cylinder head was overhauled; in August 2009, replaced oil filter and both valve cover gaskets; and repaired the charging system, replaced front and rear brake hoses in June 2012; in 2013, the silicone fluid and disc brakes were replaced; sometime in 2014, the carandrsquo;s clutch received an overhaul;

Inside, the original, blue Connolly Leather seats have been refreshed, look excellent and present a cool contrast to the exterior white. The Wilton wool carpet is in good shape, a new headliner was installed and the original burled walnut dashboard and matching trays behind driver and passenger have been restored. The radio is inoperable but the interior and instrument panel lights work as designed. The Wilton interior trunk wool is in fine shape.

TheJaguar Mark 2is a medium-sizedsaloon carbuilt from late 1959to 1967 byJaguarin Coventry, England. Twelve months before the announcement of theXJ6the 2.4L and 3.4L Mark 2 models were renamed to Jaguar 240 and Jaguar 340 respectively. The previous Jaguar 2.4L and 3.4L models made between 1955 and 1959 have been identified asMark 1Jaguars since Jaguar produced this Mark 2 model.

Until theXJ, Jaguarandrsquo;s postwar saloons were usually denoted byRoman numerals(e.g.Mark VII,Mark VIII) while the Mark 2 usedArabic Numerals, denoted on the rear of the car as MK 2.

Adhering toSir William Lyonsandrsquo; maxim of grace, pace and space, the Mark 2 was a fast and capable saloon. It came with a 120horsepower, 2.4L engine, a 210horsepower, 3.4L engine or a 220horsepower 3.8LJaguar XK engine.The 3.8 is similar to the unit used in the 3.8E-Type (called XKE in the USA), having the same block, crank, connecting rods and pistons but
