About this car

The Mark Two is the compact Jaguar saloon that defined the sports saloon in period, and the 2.4-litre car is the entry point to the range, with the twin-cam six and a manual gearbox. This 1960 example is a two-owner car with a reported 36,000 miles from new, which is very low for a car of this age.

The dealer describes it as an original, matching-numbers car. It keeps its original pale grey paint and red leather interior, along with unchanged burr walnut trim. It has disc brakes from new. The page says the engine starts readily and the gearbox has good synchromesh.

It is registered 390NVT in the UK, with chassis number 103433DN. The listing shows the price as accepted, so a deal appears to have been agreed. The dealer also notes the car is due to be photographed again in better weather.
