JAGUAR MK II (1959-1969) CAR HISTORY

Car review on JAGUAR MK II

The sight of a Jaguar MkII inspires a misty-eyed emotional response like no other 60s saloon. For a decade from 1959, the year of Britain's first motorway, the compact Jaguar was the bread and butler of Browns Lane, Coventry. It was the last proper sports saloon the company ever made.

The MkII was nothing if not versatile. It was favored not just by the criminal fraternity (it was no accident that the James Fox character drove a white MkII in Donald Cammell's superb 1970 film Performance, or Michael Caine's pursuers a red one in the classic Get Carter of 1971) but also by the law itself because it was so wickedly fast. At the same time the MkII was also a very respectable car: a quiet, comfortable and classy businessman's express for the stockbroker belt. It made a fine name for itself on the track as a saloon-car racer, and industry personalities such as Graham Hill and Colin Chapman gave the MkII the stamp of approval by using them off-duty too.
Technically the MkII wasn't vintage Jaguar (though the unitary shell had broken new ground for the company on its 2.4 'Mkl' progenitor of 1955), but its beautifully-balanced shape had the classic William Lyons touch, as did the interior with its leather seats and wooden dash and door capping, the facia packed with dials and switches like a wartime bomber's flight deck. The MkII owner could do a legal 125 mph (201 kph) if lie owned the full-house 3.8 manual overdrive car — it was the fastest saloon on the road for a time in the early60s - or 120 (193) in the 3.4. The leisurely 2.4, on the other hand, couldn't even manage 100 (160) - which were why Jaguar's press department never allowed one out to be tested.

More than 80,000 MkIIs were sold, and the model inspired a whole raft of more expensive variations on the same theme: the S-Type, the 420 and even a Daimler with its own special V-eight engine. It is the pure original MkII; however, that has won the hearts of the public.
