Condition
7
The car has some signs of age and minor cosmetic issues such as light corrosion on the wheel spat, lower sill, and inner arches, along with a few small paint bubbles. However, these do not detract significantly from the overall charm and solid presentation. The interior and chrome are well-preserved, and the car is mechanically sound.

Description
Introduced in late 1959 by Jaguar of Coventry, the celebrated Jaguar Mark 2 quickly established itself as one of the finest sporting saloons of its era.
Combining performance, refinement and unmistakable British elegance, the Mark 2 perfectly embodied Sir William Lyons’ famous mantra: “Grace… Space… Pace”.
Available with Jaguar’s revered XK engine in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8-litre forms, the model earned a reputation for effortless touring ability and refined sporting character, becoming an enduring icon of 1960s motoring.
Offered here is a particularly charming and highly original 240 model, finished in timeless Old English White with beautifully contrasting red leather upholstery.
Remarkably, it has had just two owners from new, the most recent custodian having cherished the Jaguar since 1993.
Such long-term ownership is often the hallmark of a genuinely cared-for example, and this handsome saloon presents exactly as one would hope and displays a very credible 91,700 miles.
