The Jaguar Mk
II is the most characteristic Jaguar "Sport-sedan" in history. Almost
everybody knows and recognizes the car as a Jaguar.
The Mk II was a car with two faces: on the one hand, it was a very fast
sport-sedan, which made the car favorite of British crooks as well as
the police (a fact which was made full use of in many films and
television series; think of Get Carter –1970-, featuring Michael Caine,
and more recently, Inspector Morse). On the other hand, it was a very
comfortable acceptable business car in which the ‘upper class’ would
happily present themselves.
The Mk II derived its power and speed from the famous Jaguar XK engine
with which Jaguar had been able to win in Le Mans in 1951 and in 1953
(3.4-litre version). The XK engine in the Mk II was available in three
different cylinder capacities, namely 2483 cc/120 horsepower, 3442
cc/190 horsepower and 3781cc/220 horsepower respectively. The 3.8
version had a top speed of no less than 120.5 miles per hour (about 201
km/h). The Jaguar Mk II was built until 1967.
Nowadays, the Jaguar Mk II is a very popular classic. The Mk II is very
suitable for daily (business) use and will give the lucky owner much
driving pleasure as well as a distinct image concerning the choice of
car.
