This 1963 Jaguar Mark II sedan is finished in a combination of opalescent gunmetal over a tan interior and powered by a 3.8-liter I6 connected to a General Motors automatic transmission with overdrive.

This Mark II comes with a clean title in the seller's name and is available now with numerous records from the previous owner and current owner who has had the car for the past 15 years. 

A photo for this car contains a picture showing a tag that identifies this Jaguar as originally having a 3.8-liter I6 ("LC" Engine No. prefix) and the corresponding body ("S" Body No. prefix). As part of its restoration, the body was equipped with new rocker panels and repainted in opalescent gunmetal gray. New or re-plated chrome can be found on the bumpers, vertically ribbed grille, leaping cat hood ornament, front fender mirrors, badging, and taillight housings. During the procedure, this car received 5 new Vredestein radial tires mounted on 5 new chrome wire wheels and a new windshield as well as new windows. 

The cabin was fitted with new X-MAT sound deadening insulation and a new tan interior from Aldridge Trimming furnished with dual bucket front seats and a rear bench. Refurbished wood trim covers the dashboard, tops of the door panels, and fold-down trays on the backs of the front seats. Equipment includes a Derrington-style 3-spoke steering wheel, RetroAir air conditioning system, and a Bluetooth-compatible AM/FM radio with CD player and backup camera.

The dashboard features instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer with odometer showing 77,350 miles,, 6K-rpm tachometer with analog clock, and gauges for the water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage.

Under the hood is a 3.8-liter I6 equipped with a new alloy radiator with electric cooling fans, new wiring loom, electronic ignition, high-torque starter, and high-output alternator. It's connected to a General Motors automatic transmission with overdrive from John's Cars and rebuilt power steering and breathes through exhaust manifolds with new porcelain coating and a new stainless steel exhaust system. An oil change was performed within the past year.

According to the owner, all braking and suspension components are new. 

According to the seller, this Mark II is available with documentation from their 15 years of ownership and from the previous owner's time with the car.

This 1963 Jaguar MK II is finished in gray metallic over tan leather upholstery and powered by a replacement 3.8-liter inline-six mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 15″ wire wheels, chrome bumpers, fender-mounted mirrors, wood interior trim, a Bluetooth-equipped touchscreen media unit, a Revotec engine cooling system, and a Classic Auto Air climate control system. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2022, and subsequent service included a general inspection, transmission service, rebuilding the carburetors, and replacing the starter, fuel tank, steering column, and spark plugs. This MK II is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with service records, spare parts, and a clean Texas title.

The car was repainted in the current shade of gray metallic under prior ownership. Equipment includes fender-mounted side mirrors and chrome wrap-around bumpers with overriders as well as a Leaper hood ornament and quarter vent windows. Bubbling is noted on portions of the scuttle panel.

Chrome 15” center-spline wire wheels are secured with two-eared knock-offs and wear Vredestein tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.

Cabin finishes include tan leather upholstery on the seats accompanied by matching door panels and color-coordinated carpeting. Wood trim lines the dashboard and door windows, and a Bluetooth-equipped Boss Audio Systems media unit is mounted at the base of the center stack. The car is also equipped with a Classic Auto Air climate control system.

The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a replacement column and frames a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while a collection of auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 78k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 3.8-liter inline-six is equipped with a pair of SU carburetors, a Revotec engine cooling system, and heat shielding along the firewall and underside of the hood. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Service completed in 2022 included a transmission service and rebuilds of the carburetors and replacement of the starter, fuel tank, sending unit, and spark plugs.
