JAGUAR MK II 3.4, 1960 Great class and engine for the noble Englishman Car with matching numbers Excellently restored The Jaguar Mk II was built from 1959 to 1969 as the successor to the 2.4- and 3.4-liter models produced between 1957 and 1959. It was a handsome, powerful and maneuverable sedan offered with a choice of three six-cylinder overhead camshaft engines; 2.4-liter, 3.4-liter or 3.8-liter. After the appreciation of the Mk I, the MK IIs were well received and considered an even better car. Similar in appearance but with a larger window area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding along with minor modifications to the front suspension to reduce body roll and disc brakes instead of drum brakes. Driven by all the top drivers of those years, including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori, and Michael Parkes, the Mk II scored victories in every sedan race in the 1960s and raced throughout Europe, such as in the Tour De France and the Monte Carlo Rally JAGUAR MK II 3.4, 1960 Matching numbers car Very beautiful restored The Jaguar Mk II was built from 1959 to 1969 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models which were manufactured between 1957 and 1959.
