Jaguar Mk2

What is your favourite car of all time?

Jaguar introduced the Mark II saloon with the option of 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre engines at the 1959 London Motor Show. This new Jaguar was basically a refashioned Mark I with a wider rear track and better handling. The model established Jaguar as a mass producer of luxury cars, in excess of 100,000 left the line during eight years of production. The famous six-cylinder twin overhead camshaft engine was beautifully smooth and in 3.8 litre form (3.78cc, 231cu.in.) produced 220bhp at 5,500rpm. It endowed the streamlined Jaguar with a swift 0-60mph (0-96km/h) acceleration time of 9 seconds and a maximum speed of 125mph (201km/h). The Mk2 saloon range was superseded by the lower specification 240 and 340 models in December 1967.
