Auction description:
1962 Jaguar Mk II 3.8
Estimate £25,000 - £35,000
Aguttes - Automobiles de Collection - La Vente d'Été, Paris, France
29 June, 2025
Lot 16

Chassis No. 220951DN
French classic car registration document
The car that illustrates these pages, dark green with a black interior, is a desirable 3.8L. Originally built with a manual gearbox with overdrive, it likely suffered an engine failure, as it is now equipped with a 3.8S engine and a Borg Warner manual gearbox (note a small leak; the oil level should be checked regularly). Owned by a former Scuderia Ferrari engine engineer for nearly 15 years, this Jaguar has benefited from a rare mechanical overhaul, with over €30,000 in invoices: cylinder head reground, timing chain replaced, brakes rebuilt, power steering rebuilt (not original), etc.
Mk 2 Jaguars are available at all price points, but this 3.8L, which may need to be re-engined, is an excellent base, and moreover, offered at a reasonable estimate considering the work it has already undergone. We also like the overall patina.
