One for the future – 1960 Jaguar Mk II (2)

The wonderful Jaguar Mk2 was the epitome of luxury transportation when it first took to the streets in the very late 1950’s. We’ve been approached by a potential client who is looking to give this vehicle a complete restoration.

The Mark 2 Jaguar was used by the British police force, with the 3.8l engine outputting an impressive 220 bhp. Ironically, the Jaguar Mark 2’s were also known for being very popular getaway vehicles of the 60s.

The Jaguar Mark 2, driven by John Thaw’s fictional TV character, Inspector Morse recently sold at auction for over £100,000, this vehicle was the 2.4l version and had been subject to a total restoration.

1960 Jensen 541R in paint

Our beautiful 1960 Jensen 541R paint is currently setting in our paint booth. As the shall is made of fibreglass, the paint cannot be cured at regular ‘baking’ temperatures. Instead, it’s cured at a less intense 20 degrees. This will mean the car won’t be able to be perfected and polished until next week, but we’re sure the perfect finish will be worth the wait.

Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type in the Lake District

We love it when clients of ours send us images like this. Thank you to the owner, Martin for sending us this fabulous picture of his 1968 Jaguar E-Type. The car has been taken for a trip up to the Lake District. It’s wonderful to see such a lovely machine being used and enjoyed on some of the the country’s finest roads.
