With the advent of the Mark 2 in October 1959, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK twin-cam six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon, which in top-of-the-range, 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration was a genuine 125mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, respectable figures for a saloon of its size even by today's standards. Delivering 220 horsepower, well-supported by the desirable four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, this Jaguar represents the Mark 2 in its ultimate version.

This left-hand drive example was dispatched new in France on 6th February 1963, at garage Delecroix in Paris. The original colour scheme was opalescent silver grey with dark blue interior. Owned by the vendor's family for over 30 years, the car was comprehensively restored many years ago by the owner and his mechanic. Regularly serviced and in good overall condition, the Mark 2 is finished in dark taupe with cream leather interior, is offered with a JDHT Certificate, Jaguar service manual, expired French contrôle technique and French carte grise.

Avec l'arrivée de la Mark 2, en octobre 1959, la version 3,8 litres du moteur XK à double arbre à cames de Jaguar est pour la première fois disponible dans la berline de taille moyenne de la marque. Dans sa configuration haut de gamme, 3,8 litres et boîte manuelle avec overdrive, cette voiture peut atteindre 200 km/h sans difficulté et 100 km/h en 8,5 secondes, des chiffres respectables pour une berline de cette taille, même selon les normes actuelles. Délivrant 220 chevaux, bien aidée par une boîte de vitesse manuelle à quatre rapports et overdrive, cette Jaguar représente la Mark 2 dans sa version la plus aboutie.

Cet exemplaire à conduite à gauche a été livré neuf en France, le 6 février 1963, par le garage Delecroix à Paris. La voiture était à l'origine peinte en gris argenté opalescent avec un intérieur bleu foncé. Dans la famille du collectionneur depuis plus de 30 ans, cette Mark 2 a été restaurée en profondeur il y a de nombreuses années par le propriétaire et son mécanicien. Cette auto a été régulièrement entretenue depuis et se trouve dans un bel état général. La voiture est peinte en taupe foncé avec un intérieur en cuir crème et est vendue avec un certificat JDHT, le manuel d'entretien Jaguar, un contrôle technique français expiré et une carte grise française.
