The Jaguar Mark II, produced from 1959 to 1967, established the template for the modern sports sedan. Known for its 'grace, space, and pace,' it combined a luxurious leather-and-wood interior with impressive performance from its XK inline-6 engine. It was a dominant force in touring car racing and became an icon of 1960s Britain, favored by police and bank robbers alike.
Collectors prize the Mark II for its elegant William Lyons styling and strong performance, especially the 3.8-liter model. Cars equipped with the 3.8-liter engine and a manual gearbox with overdrive are the most desirable and valuable. Its cultural significance, enhanced by appearances in films and shows like Inspector Morse, solidifies its status as a blue-chip British classic.
The market for the Mark II is broad, reflecting the wide variety of engine specifications and conditions available. With an average sale price of just over $24,000, there's an entry point for many budgets. However, project cars can sell for under $2,000, while perfectly restored 3.8-liter examples can approach $90,000, showing significant demand for the best cars.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy. Thoroughly inspect the sills, jacking points, floor pans, wheel arches, and chassis outriggers for corrosion or poor repairs.
- The XK engine is robust but expensive to rebuild. Check for signs of overheating, low oil pressure at idle, and smoke from the exhaust. Listen for timing chain rattle on startup.
- Examine the interior carefully. Restoring the walnut dash and leather upholstery is a costly process, so a well-preserved original interior adds significant value.
- Worn suspension components are common. Drive the car to check for vague steering caused by worn front bushes and a sagging rear from tired leaf springs.
- For top-tier cars, especially 3.8L models, verify matching numbers with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate to ensure authenticity and protect your investment.
