Introduction

Darren Rungasamy
Automotive Editor, Photographer and Consigner

The MK2 Jaguar has an enviable reputation amongst the heroes of the sporting saloon.

Reinforcing Jaguar's high standards of innovation and design, the MK2 is measured by its glorious styling, iconic punchy engines, upmarket cabin and driving characteristics. In addition, Jaguar made sure it was practical and quick; few four-door saloons can match the Jaguar's luxury, flair and capacity to turn heads. It is equally in its element on the racetrack as it is on a leisurely summer's day cruise.

Engine sizes and gearbox configurations often dictated the MK2 desirability, and the bigger engined models with manuals were the ones commanding top prices. However, the twin-SU HD6 carburettors on the straight-six 3.4-litre engine allow it to run close to the 3.8 in real-world conditions.

This 1964 cream with red leather interior 3.4-litre model comes to market after ~7 years ownership with only 3 previous owners and is equipped with a manual transmission which has overdrive. It also has an impressive file of maintenance invoices dating back to the 1980s, and it has seen spending of around £11,000 in recent years which includes an electric power-assisted steering kit, a full stainless steel exhaust, new wheels and tyres. The MK2 has spent the last year in storage.

This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Dan the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

We added the electric power steering to help us make the car a more enjoyable experience.

Dan has owned many Jaguars over his lifetime and saw this well kept and original example for sale in 2018. Having taken several respected experts to help him inspect it, he has since embarked on some subtle improvements and used it as an occasional car.

It has been maintained by a reputable classic car specialist to address any issues and he has used them to help enhance the car without impacting its originality.

A lack of recent use is the main reason for the sale. it has been in storage for the past year. Dan will be happy to answer any questions in the comments section below.

Exterior

Impressively presented, the cream finish and wire wheels is a lovely combination.

Wheels and Tyres

It comes with 15” wire wheels which were fitted in 2019, there are no notable issues with their condition and all are very presentable with tight spokes.

The car is fitted with Blockley specialist vintage tyres - they were fitted at the same time as the wheels and have plenty of tread on them.

Bodywork

Externally the car sits well, with no signs of panel damage and the doors open and close with ease, with no sagging noted. The offside rear wheel spat is slightly proud, but otherwise, the panel fit and shut lines are even.

As you'll see from the images and videos, the underside looks solid with just the front chassis legs showing some signs of age but appear to be solid too. There are a few areas that would benefit from underseal being applied again.

The engine bay and boot floor are pleasingly clean.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

The paint has good even coverage and consistent lustre with no evidence of issues caused by outdoor elements on the body.

There is minimal surface paint damage, with the odd under-paint blister in places. We spotted a few small paint cracks and bubbling emerging on the front wings, a spot on the nearside front door and a blemish outside the boot well, but overall the car has very little in terms of distractions.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The glass and lighting are in good shape, with some mild perishing noted around the windscreen seals but the car appears to be leak-free.

The condition of the chrome is positive, with just a little light pitting observed on the bumpers.

The rest of the trim is in good shape, all correct and well-mounted.

Interior

Furnished in red leather, the cabin is a masterclass in style and comfort.

Seats and Carpets

The soft and comfy red leather seats appear original and display age-related wear, with of course the driver seats showing the most wear but all are free of rips.

The carpets are in good condition, with signs of age in places but above the expectations of a ~60-year-old car; all are damp-free.

Dashboard

The dashboard displays very well, with the high-quality walnut veneer in good condition, nothing more than minor wear noted, namely at the top of the left-hand side close to the windscreen.

The facia and main controls are in good order, with clean dials and switchgear. It has a couple of useful additions including a battery condition meter and hazard warning lights. Dan reassured us that all of the dashboard functions work to his knowledge.

The roof lining, door cards, and wooden capping are all in decent shape.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The car is fitted with a wooden Moto-Lita steering wheel which is in excellent condition.

The gear lever, although twisted slightly off centre, is in order with the rest of the smartly presented, original cabin.

Mechanics

The excellent maintenance offers further confidence in the cars strong performance and spirited handling.

Engine and Gearbox

The cold start didn't expose any issues, with no hesitancy or unwanted noises. The exhaust was free of unwanted smoke and remained smoke-free while idling. The engine displays well, with plenty of evidence of regular maintenance, with decent hoses and ancillaries. Recent work includes a new coil, alternator and renewed electric cold start mechanism.

The manual gearbox operates with no issues. The first gear is without synchromesh, but all ratios were demonstrated to engage without issue. The car is fitted with overdrive, which Dan told us is fully operational. The clutch has recently been renewed.

Suspension and Brakes

The car glided smoothly along the roads, we noted how taught and composed it was around the corners. No creaks were heard during the test drive.

The brakes felt reassuring, with no pulling or unwanted noises.

The Drive

The MK2 shares the same joyful spirit as the E-Type, with more than just the shared engine note. We were treated to a 10-minute cruise along a B-road on a near perfect driving day, where the Jaguar showed the best of its abilities. Smooth and composed, the car dealt with the road with no issues. We didn’t hear any unwanted mechanical noises, Dan told us that the steering was tight with no negative feedback.

The car accelerates smoothly, with no hiccups from the engine, the stainless steel exhaust and the twin SU’s helping to provide a genuine sense of sporting occasion. The oil pressure remained static at around 40 psi while we were driving and Dan has not reported any issues with the engine temperature.

Electrics and Other

The car comes with its tool kit and has seen several useful upgrades including an electric power steering kit and full stainless steel exhaust, both fitted in 2019. A Kenlowe fan and adjustable Spax shocks were added before this.

History and Paperwork

The Jaguar comes with decades worth of supporting invoices to back up its positive maintenance record.

The car was first registered in Wolverhampton in April 1964 with a 5-digit ageless plate. It is believed that the car’s engine was reconditioned at Browns Lane in the late 70s, along with an exterior reconditioning, including paint and a cosmetic tidy-up. Used sparingly, it has only covered around 25,000 miles over the last ~40 years. Kept by its 2nd owner for ~18 years, the car comes with several historical V5s which help to track its owners back to 1985. The car saw some welding and cosmetic work in 2010, previous invoices relate mostly to mechanical maintenance.

The current owner has spent over £11,000 on the Jaguar during his six years of ownership which includes cosmetic repairs, power steering conversion, a new alternator, a new clutch kit, stainless steel exhaust system, four wire wheels and new tyres and maintenance all carried out by Century Classics of Hungerford. There is also a documented summary of the expenditure and work carried out on the car since 1985, with all of the invoices, MOTs and to back this up. It is road tax and MOT exempt and last saw an MOT in 2020 having travelled fewer than 200 miles since then, where it passed with no advisories. It was last serviced 2,000 miles ago, it has been in storage for the past year.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPI that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment of the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price that the seller will let the car go for. We work with sellers to set realistic reserves in line with market pricing – we don’t take on vehicles with unrealistic pricing. Reserve met / not met labeling may or may not be announced during the auction – this is just like a traditional auction house, i.e. bidders may only know when they’ve been successful at the end of the auction.

    If the reserve hasn’t been met at the end of the auction then we work with the highest bidder to try to work out a deal with the seller.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.
