1962 JAGUAR MK11 3.8

On offer is a beautifully restored 1962 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Automatic, finished in timeless Old English White with a rich red leather interior. Revered as the definitive British sports saloon of the early 1960s, the Mk II 3.8 combined understated elegance with serious performance credentials. This genuine factory matching numbers 3.8 litre example has undergone a careful restoration to a high standard, presenting today as a well-sorted collector car ready to be enjoyed on the road or admired in any classic collection.

DRIVE – LINE: 

Beneath the sculpted bonnet lies Jaguar’s legendary 3.8-litre inline-six engine, producing smooth, effortless power. Paired with the automatic transmission, it delivers refined drivability perfectly suited to both city cruising and long-distance touring. The mechanicals have been restored and maintained with attention to originality, with recent works ensuring reliability. Power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes—innovative for the era—provide confident stopping power, while the suspension offers the ideal blend of comfort and sportiness that made the Mk II a favourite of both enthusiasts and racers.

EXTERIOR:

Finished in Old English White, the bodywork presents with crisp panel gaps and a deep lustrous paint finish. The chrome brightwork, including the iconic Jaguar grille, bumpers and window surrounds, gleams without pitting. Distinctive details such as the slim pillar design, rear spats, and elegant chrome wire wheels complete the picture of a quintessential early-1960s British sports saloon. Every aspect of the exterior restoration reflects both correctness and quality.

INTERIOR:

Opening the door reveals a striking cabin trimmed in supple red leather, a colour combination highly sought-after in Mk II Jaguars. The seats have been retrimmed with care, retaining the correct pleating and comfort of the originals. Deep pile carpets, refinished walnut veneer across the dashboard and door capping’s, and original style Smiths instrumentation all highlight the attention to detail. The driving position remains classically Jaguar—intimate yet sporting—with a thin-rimmed steering wheel and commanding view down the convex bonnet.

SUMMARY:

The 1962 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 Automatic offered here is a superbly restored example of one of Jaguar’s most iconic saloons. With its powerful 3.8-litre engine, elegant Old English White coachwork, and richly appointed red leather interior, it embodies both luxury and performance.
