Introduction
Jon Dixon
The MK2 Jaguar is one of the cars, along with the E-Type, that really propelled Jaguar to success in the 1960’s.
It really did live up the the “pace” mantra that Sir Williams Lyon coined, so much so that it has a reputation for being a favourite getaway car amongst criminals and conversely used by the Police too.
This example, in Ians ownership for 17 years, is a really well cared for and usable classic. It has all the right features in terms of being manual with overdrive, power steering and the 3.8L engine (some practical upgrades too like electronic ignition).
Buy this car, show it, enjoy it, and it will serve you for many many years to come.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jon after meeting Ian the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Great to see all the comments on this car. It’s a really lovely example and looking forward to seeing what it’s going to go for!
Thank you for your message , yes getting interesting now
Hi Ian, can you verify any of the following?
Is it negative earth?
Has it an alternator?
Any upgrades to the braking system?
Any upgrades to the water cooling system?
Is the PAS electric or hydraulic & when approx was it fitted?
With regards to which petrol you use. Is it the high octane unleaded & then mix in the additive?
Regards
Ross.
Hi ROSS, yes negative earth with dynamo.No upgrades to brakes. PAS factory fitted hydraulic and recently refurbished PAS box. I use 95 octane petrol with Redex. Was told the valves are so good that no need to do anything else. Sometimes I use the higher octane but don’t notice any difference. There is an electric fan to keep it cool and electronic ignition.
Hope that answers your questions,
Regards Ian
Good Morning Ian,
Just a quick query on the car.
Have the rear wheel arches been modified?
As I believe the original Mk2 wheel arches had spats.
Thanks Steve.
Hi Steve, the rear wheel arches have not been modified and it has summer spats on it all the time. The winter spats I sold off as would not go over the wire wheels.
Thanks Ian
Hi Ian very much enjoyed viewing the Mk2 this morning & having our chat .Regards Tom
Pleasure Tom, look forward to your bid, Regards Ian
Can u confirm this is an original 3.8 not an upgraded engine Thanks Regards Tom
Hi Tom, yes original 3.8 as on the Jaguar heritage

hi would like very much to view this Jaguar tomorrow if you could advise Regards Tom
Yes thats fine, do you have the post code?
If you can send post code & house no that would be great contact no. If allowed. Will hopefully arrive about 1pm if that’s ok Regards Tom
Hi Tom
1 pm is fine although maybe wet here, post code is XXXXX and is no1. Rather remote so best to call mobile on XXXXXX for final instructions. Regards Ian
That’s great I’ll see you tomorrow & ring when not far away Regards Tom
The car looks in good condition but has the front fascia (speedometer and rev counter) been replaced as it doesn’t look like walnut? Similarly with the inserts in the rear drop-down tables? Thanks, John
Hi John, The front dashboard is walnut , the speedo and rev counter has not been changed since I have owned the vehicle.The drop down tables are not walnut as far as I am aware but not sure. Hope that answers your questions.
Regards Ian Fryer
I have owned two Mk 2s previously and from the videos and photos your car looks to be a superb example.
Does the car have a current MOT? If not, would you be prepared to provide a new MOT? Does the car run on unleaded petrol? I notice that the car still has the original brake calipers which have quite small area of contact. can you advise what the stopping performance is like (I realise this is quite subjective).
No MOT at moment as does not require one but I could have one done for you if required and then the car could go on the rollers to give stopping distance. Car runs well on unleaded, it has not been converted as was advised against this. I put high octane petrol in it along with Redex
