The seller offers for sale this 1962 Jaguar MK2, a British sports sedan known for its blend of performance and luxury. This example is powered by a 2.4-liter inline-six engine, paired with an automatic transmission. It was registered in Belgium in 1993 and has undergone restoration work in the past, including a repaint and new wheels. The engine is no longer matching numbers, but the car has been technically refreshed by Nout Classics between 2021 and 2022.
The bodywork has benefited from an older restoration, with additional refinishing completed more recently. The paint remains in presentable condition, with small signs of use. The car retains its factory disc brakes, improving stopping performance compared to other sedans of its era. The wooden dashboard, leather seating, and instrumentation remain in place, and all electronics are functional according to the owner.
The Jaguar MK2 was introduced in 1959 and became one of the most iconic sports sedans of its time. Known for its curvaceous design, luxurious interior, and strong performance, the MK2 was a favorite among both racing enthusiasts and professionals. It was offered with a range of inline-six engines, with the 2.4L being the entry-level variant. More powerful versions, such as the 3.4L and 3.8L, were often used in motorsport, solidifying the MK2’s reputation for speed. The car’s combination of style and capability made it popular with law enforcement, particularly in the UK. Today, the Jaguar MK2 remains a sought-after classic, appreciated for its craftsmanship and driving dynamics.
