Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
The 1966 Jaguar MkII is easily one of the best looking cars in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. The car has been checked over by our restoration technicians with a clean bill of health so it was time to get it photographed because this MkII, is our latest Bridge Classic Cars Competitions classic up for grabs.
This 1966 Jaguar MkII has a purposeful look but also an elegance to it so the photoshoot that Freddie and Hayley created for the car definitely personifies this part of the car’s personality. This colour combination of White over Grey Leather really does sum up the phrase of ”Grace, Space and Pace” which was so closely connected to the MkII.
The winter sun gave off not only the perfect light for the car but the best angles to truly capture this stunning piece of automotive history. The car from any angle looks incredible but the photos shot near our secure storage facility, The Hangar, are the closest anyone has got to truly being able to show how beautiful this car is in real life.
And to go with those good looks, the 3.8-litre straight-six. The beating heart of the big MkII’s and the reason why in the 1960s, the bank robbers wanted them and the coppers had to have them. The MkII blends the lines between a large 4 door sports car and a wonderful long-legged GT car. At home at both the pub car park, the village green or outrunning the old bill after doing a ”big job”.
Today in 2022, the now 56-year-old Jaguar still has the ability to turn heads and command the road wherever it goes. And, it could all be yours very soon.
