Jaguar Mk2

What is your favourite car of all time?

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.
