The 1960 Jaguar range saw the introduction of the MkII compact saloons following on from the MkI theme but now with disc brakes, wider rear track, increased glass area and a choice of three different sizes of XK engine. The Mk 2 became Jaguar's most successful 1960's car, particularly in 3.4 and 3.8-litre form, where the combination of sheer performance, character and value for money was unbeatable. The 3.8-litre Mk 2 had everything - sensuous looks as well as superb performance. The 220bhp engine produced a top speed of 125mph and despite having a live rear axle the car's handling was considered to be more than adequate. Total Mk II production between 1959 and 1969 totalled some 90,000 cars.
