1960 JAGUAR MK II 3.8 Same owner for 17 years Exceptional performance and behavior An old car modernized to drive French historic registration title Chassis n° T211205BW After its numerous successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Jaguar brand is in full effervescence and offers various models. The idea of grafting the XK engine under the hood of a sedan quickly tempted William Lyons: in 1959, the MK II was unveiled at the London Motor Show to replace the MK I, presented two years earlier with the 3.4L engine. It was the fastest production sedan in the world at the time and proved it. Bernard Consten won the Tour de France Automobile three times between 1960 and 1963 with a model equipped with the 3.8-liter engine. It turns out to be a real sports sedan because of its noble mechanics, with a design of great elegance and typical British charm. Certainly the most appreciated sedan by collectors for its numerous qualities, it is a great classic on the collector car market. The example presented in these pages is a MK II 3.8 delivered new in the United States and put on the road on the 15th of July 1960. Initially in Old English White with red leather upholstery, it is equipped with a Borg Wagner automatic gearbox. In France for many years, it was purchased by its current owner seventeen years ago from a collector in the Reims area. It is then in a decent condition but will require important overhauls before being able to find its former glory. A complete restoration began with the bodywork being stripped bare. The engine is replaced by a 3.8L block with the original cylinder head and the four-speed mechanical gearbox plus overdrive is replaced by a fivespeed Gretrag gearbox providing a real driving pleasure. All the running gear, brakes, shock absorbers and suspensions will be replaced by new parts and a modern electric power steering has been installed. Aesthetically, the car is repainted in a very elegant light green metallic color that is close to Aston Martin’s Almond Green with a very well-done navy blue leather upholstery. The most discerning enthusiasts will immediately notice that the seats have been replaced by Jaguar XJ-6 seats with a very similar design but with the advantage of being adjustable. In fact, this car has been greatly improved to ensure impeccable handling, top-notch performance and optimal comfort. Purists looking for a car with a strict original configuration, don’t bother| you are in the presence of a car capable of covering miles without batting an eyelid, with the elegance and distinction of one of the most beautiful sedans produced. In 2012, its owner took part in a rally from Chile to Argentina and since then in many other events organized by the Amicale Jaguar. No matter what purists might say, this car is surprising of efficiency, and is a real treat as it excels in all areas. Sold with a reconditioned period mechanical box and its original seat frames, it will be the delight of a collector wishing to replace an uncommunicative modern car by a Jaguar sedan with discreet charm and very current performance.

1960 JAGUAR MK II 3.8 17年来的同一业主 杰出的性能和操作 现代化的老式驾驶 法国收藏家的登记 底盘编号：T211205BW 在勒芒24小时耐力赛上取得无数成功后，捷豹品牌正如火如荼地进行着，并提供各种车型。将XK发动机移植到轿车引擎盖下的想法很快就在威廉-里昂的脑海中诞生了，正是在1959年，MK II在伦敦车展上亮相，取代了两年前采用3.4L发动机的捷豹MK I。它是当时世界上最快的生产型房车，并证明了这一点。伯纳德-康斯坦在1960年至1963年期间用3.8升的车型三次赢得了环法汽车赛。事实证明，它是一款真正的大型运动型轿车，具有高贵的机械性能、优雅的设计和典型的英国魅力。当然，由于其众多的品质，它是收藏家中最受欢迎的房车，是经典汽车世界中的伟大经典。本页介绍的例子是一辆MK II 3.8型车，新近交付美国，于1960年7月15日上路。最初采用旧英国白，红色皮革内饰，配备了博格瓦格纳自动变速箱。在法国多年，它的现任主人在十七年前从兰斯地区的一位收藏家那里购买了它。当时，它处于原始状态，需要进行重大工程，才能恢复其昔日的辉煌。一个完整的修复工作开始了，车身被剥得一干二净。发动机被一个3.8升的缸体取代，原缸盖被重新组装，四速机械变速箱加超速档被五速Gretrag变速箱取代，提供真正的驾驶乐趣。所有的传动装置、刹车、减震器和悬架都将被替换成新的部件，并安装了一个现代化的电动助力转向系统。从美学角度看，该车被重新漆成了非常优雅的浅绿色金属色调，类似于阿斯顿-马丁的杏仁绿，并配有工艺精美的海军蓝皮革内饰。更有眼光的车迷会立即注意到，座椅已被捷豹XJ-6座椅取代，其设计非常相似，但优点是可以调节。事实上，这辆车已经得到了极大的改进，以确保无可挑剔的操控性、顶级性能和舒适性。追求严格的原始配置的纯粹主义者，不用费心了，你所看到的是一辆能够不眨眼地跑完所有里程的汽车，它具有生产的最漂亮的轿车之一的优雅和与众不同。2012年，车主参加了从智利到阿根廷的拉力赛，此后又参加了Amicale Jaguar组织的许多其他活动。尽管有些人不热衷于匹配，但这款车的效率很高，在各方面都很出色，是人们真正的最爱。它与一个经过修复的时代机械箱和原厂座椅框架一起出售，它将使希望用一辆具有谨慎魅力和当前性能的捷豹房车来取代一辆不具沟通能力的现代汽车的收藏家感到高兴。
