This Jaguar Mk II 3.8 is the perfect synthesis of English luxury, timeless elegance, and impressive sportiness. With its legendary 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine and 224 hp, combined with a manual transmission and overdrive, it is one of the most sought-after sports sedans of the 1960s.
Its extraordinary history is particularly noteworthy: the vehicle was first delivered in August 1962 as an original left-hand drive to the Wiesbaden Jaguar dealer and racing driver Peter Lindner. The original Jaguar production certificate is available. Since 1966, the car has been owned by the same entrepreneurial family – a rarity of considerable collector’s value.
In June 1975, the Jaguar was deregistered and underwent a comprehensive restoration. During this process, the entire mechanics were overhauled or replaced. This also included the redesign of the original white paintwork with dark blue interior to the current iconic combination of British Racing Green and red leather interior. The wood trim was professionally refurbished and is in very good condition. The car was re-registered in December 1994.
The current odometer reading of only 1,100 kilometers underscores the extremely limited use of the car since its restoration. The Jaguar was driven exclusively on special occasions and in dry, warm weather.
Features include:
· Red leather interior
· Refurbished wood trim including wood steering wheel
· Overdrive
· Contemporary Blaupunkt Frankfurt car radio
· German operating instructions & maintenance schedule
· Classic Data short evaluation (2019)
· German vehicle documents including H registration
Conclusion
The Jaguar Mk II 3.8 is rightly considered an icon of British automotive engineering – powerful, elegant, and with genuine racing DNA. This example stands out from comparable vehicles thanks to its first-class provenance, long-term family ownership, professional restoration, and exceptionally low mileage.
A Jaguar for connoisseurs and collectors that fascinates not only with its performance and appearance, but also with its history.
A statement in automotive history – stylish, rare, and full of character.
