Jaguar - MK2 3.4 - 1967

GENERAL

The 1967 Jaguar Mk2 represents the pinnacle of refinement among British sport sedans before the XJ series arrived. This particular unit is fitted with the legendary 3.4-liter XK engine, a mechanical setup that historically earned Jaguar the reputation for making "the fastest sedan in the world" in the 1950s and 1960s. With an original output of 210 hp, this engine is especially valued for being more balanced and revving with greater joy than the 3.8 block, offering exceptional dynamic behavior. As a 1967 unit, it benefits from the final-series improvements introduced by the marque, just before the model was renamed Jaguar 340. It is a highly exclusive specimen due to its floor-mounted manual transmission, a purer and more sought-after option by collectors than the automatic versions of the era.

COACHWORK AND PAINTWORK

Externally, the car wears a very exclusive light lime-green color, a chromatic variant that moves away from the most common hues and highlights the elegant lines of the body. The paint is in very good overall condition, maintaining a notable gloss and quality finishes, although it shows some minor age-typical defects in the door frames. Thanks to having remained in Spain’s dry climate and always sheltered in a garage, the structure is free of rust. A recent cleaning and preventive undercarriage maintenance have been carried out to ensure its preservation. The set is completed with the iconic wire wheels, which are in perfect aesthetic condition, accompanied by tires with plenty of life left ahead.

MECHANICS

The 3.4-liter engine is in perfect working order, having received all the relevant maintenance, including an oil change just 500 kilometers ago. Unlike the automatic versions, the manual gearbox of this unit allows you to fully exploit the XK block’s torque, offering a precision and driving feel that define the true "British charm." The mechanics have been exceptionally preserved and do not require immediate interventions, demonstrating the reliability of this engine when well maintained.

INTERIOR

The cabin is, simply, spectacular. A complete leather restoration in burgundy has been carried out, achieving an exceptional state of preservation that even preserves the authentic aroma of classic Jaguars. The noble woods of the dashboard and trim have been renewed and show an impeccable grain. All of the instrument panel’s gauges work correctly, and a new sound system has been added to improve the on-board experience without breaking the aesthetics. The headliner upholstery is in perfect condition, while some of the door-frame gaskets may be candidates for renewal in the future to reach absolute perfection.

DOCUMENTATION

This unit has Spanish historic registration and all its documentation up to date. One of the major advantages of this specimen is that, due to its listing and current regulations, it no longer needs to pass the Vehicle Technical Inspection (ITV), which greatly simplifies ownership and long-term enjoyment.

PICKUP

The vehicle is ready to drive and handed over to its new owner. Its excellent mechanical condition allows for road pickup, enabling enjoyment from the first kilometer of the engine’s elasticity and sound of the 3.4-liter engine in combination with its manual transmission.

OTHER INFORMATION

This Jaguar Mk2 is not just a classic car; it is a piece of automotive history that combines the elegance of a luxury sedan with Jaguar’s racing DNA. The combination of its 3.4 engine, manual transmission, and its impeccably burgundy leather interior make it one of the most interesting units currently on the Spanish market. It is, ultimately, a GT saloon born to be an eternal classic. Clarifying note: It is important to point out that although the trunk emblem reads "3.8," this is merely a prior aesthetic error. This unit is originally a Jaguar MK2 3.4, as confirmed by its documentation and engine block. Far from being a drawback, enthusiasts prefer the 3.4 engine for its smoother and more balanced operation.
