Vehicle History
Exterior
- Original 15in wire-spoke rims with Jaguar spinners
- Finished in Silver Grey Metallic
- Some scratches evident on the paintwork
The Jaguar Mark 2 proudly displays its Silver Grey Metallic paintwork and, although it bears signs of its age and history in the form of scratches, its elegance is still upheld. Original 15in wire-spoke rims adorned with Jaguar spinners complement the classic aesthetics, delivering a statement of timeless style.
There is some pitting to the chrome on both front and rear bumpers and corrosion can be found on the spoked rims. There is also some bubbling to the paintwork around the front grille.

Mechanics
- Fitted with a 3,781cc engine
- Manual four-speed gearbox with overdrive
- Detailed mechanical service history from Singapore (see photos)
This Jaguar Mark 2 is powered by the iconic XK 3.8-litre straight-six engine, demonstrating the remarkable engineering prowess that made Jaguar a household name. A manual four-speed gearbox with overdrive is fitted and although the car ran under its own power whilst being moved around during the photoshoot, it is recommended that the engine be properly recommissioned.
This Jaguar boasts a detailed mechanical service history which includes replacement of both top and bottom timing chains, steering tie rods and two front suspension ball joints (see document photos). The remaining tread on the tyres has been measured at 5mm, although these are slightly perished and would need to be replaced before being put on the road. The underbody shows some surface rust and corrosion on certain components.
Interior
- Period correct dashboard
- Generous rear passenger space
- Invoice receipts of interior work done to the Jaguar in Singapore (see photos)
The interior exudes timeless charm, with a period-correct dashboard and generous rear passenger space that harks back to the Jaguar’s reputation for offering luxury and comfort. Notably, an invoice dated 10 April 1973 reveals repairs to the interior, including renewing the headlining, polishing the wooden trim, and re-trimming the front leather seats (see documents).
Around the driver’s door, the rubber seal is perishing on the sill. The headlining now shows wear to the fabric.
There are some lovely touches such as the wooden trays on the seat backs and the tan leather divider between the rear seats that contribute to Jaguar’s ethos of grace, pace and space and help fully justify the Mark 2’s place as an iconic, luxury vehicle.
Why buy?

This is an opportunity to devote time, effort, and resources into the Mark 2’s legacy and help to write the next chapter.
