I bought my first mark 2 jaguar in 1977 for £700 it was a 2.4 automatic one previous owner it belonged to chivas regal whiskey it had only 64 thousand miles on the clock it had been garaged and chauffeur driven at the chivas headquarters in paisley Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I used it as as a daily driver for two years until on my way to work a French artic driver pulled into the outside lane and crushed me into the central barrier and never stopped the insurance company wrote my beautiful jaguar off

Thanks heaps Peter, what a beauty!! Lovely car and a great example of the Daimler V8 250, thanks Norman!!

Nice ❤

Very nice car.

Many thanks Peter for uploading your video of my black MK2 (featured at the beginning). Here are some details of the car which may be of interest to others. Cheers, Ron. *_1962 JAGUAR MK2 5-SPEED MANUAL - 611WK_* This MK2 was personally imported by me as a rust-free example from California, USA, in 1991. After 3 years of use I decided to convert the car to “Right Hand Drive”. This then developed into a full nut & bolt restoration of every aspect of the car over an extended 19 year period. I have fallen asleep under the car at least twice. The car was put back on the road in July 2013. Some of the work carried out listed below : • Full engine rebuild with cylinder head unleaded conversion • Conversion from 3-speed automatic to 5-speed Getrag manual gearbox • Differential and rear axle full rebuild • Power rack & pinion steering conversion (also from LHD to RHD) • New front & rear springs and 4 x Gaz adjustable shockers • New front & rear suspension bushes • Uprated front & rear brake calipers (Zeus) • Uprated brake servo and full brake system rebuild • Kenlowe electric fan upgrade • Upgrade from dynamo to high capacity alternator • Solid State Electronic fuel pump upgrade • High Torque Starter • Rewire and conversion to negative earth • Full interior wood-trim strip, re-veneer & re-lacquer • Moto-Lita Woodrim Steering Wheel • Chrome dials upgrade • New headlining • New interior trim • New carpets • Inertia Seat Belts fitted (front) • Daimler XJ40 electric front seat conversion • Full re-chrome bumpers, trims, handles, top door frames and 'leaping cat' • Lighting upgrades • Stainless steel exhaust system • Full boot carpet trim upgrade • Competition style triple-spoke chrome wire wheels & period Pirelli P5 tyres • Full repaint in Sapphire Black Metallic I would like to think that I did everything myself, but I really must thank the following people for their valued support and input : Car repaint : _Rab Macdonald, owner of RM Bodywork, East Kilbride_ Engine rebuild : _Vinnie Coia, Bothwell_ Conversion from automatic to 5-speed manual : _Alistair McMillan, Motherwell_ Woodtrim restoration : _Chapman & Cliff, Nantwich, Cheshire_ Interior trim & carpets (supply) : _BAS International, Cwmbran, S.Wales_ A special thank-you to friend and fellow MK2 owner _Colin Ross_ who helped with electrics etc and indeed pushed and dragged me over the finishing line.

Wonderful, if mine were running, i'd of popped over. Looked like a good day

Hello Again, surely the first Saturday of the month its the 'Jaguar Breakfast Club' meet anyway !!!!!!!

Wonderful and an excellent Jaguar mk five

A rose between 2 thorns

Ambla was the trade name for vinyl

This is Jaguar 240, the very last version of the Mk 2, with the slimmer S-type bumpers

Beautiful Mk 2 models here. That first black one was the same age as me, a `62 baby, I`d have to have it if i won the lottery. Dream on!

20 million pounds... Does it have reverse? None the less, probably THE most Beautiful Machine ever designed by a human. I would give that for it...

You have to thank John Siddeley for allowing William Lyons to use the 'Jaguar ' name instead of SS , The Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar was a successful Aircraft Engine of 14 cylinders twin row radial .

Some beautiful Mk 2 Jags there , excellently presented

Iain thought you would like to see the Saturdays event cheers David

I wish mine was in that condition!!

Sounds like Alex Ferguson....DRUNK!!.

That is a beautiful car.

For a second I thought I was looking at a 70-73 Camaro lol

Why would you put that engine in they were awful harsh and blew up all the time??

I have a 12c. In perfect condition. Very rare

What a top car, the photos are far better than any words , all we needed was to hear that lovely V8 burble .

Sounds great- but It would never be confused with something beautiful. The F-Type is a corpulent lump. It's too big, bulky and the rear end on it is huge. Designers have lost the ability to design svelte, beautiful, elegant cars. Park it next to an E-Type and all it's shortcomings in terms of design would be immediately obvious. The era of beautiful cars has passed sadly........

The 2015 F-Type R is a classic. Only year for the rear wheel drive at 550hp supercharged too. A bit squirrelly though when you accelerate at higher speeds. Not for the faint of heart.

classic brand for quality.

OMG makes me emotional every time I see a Series 1 4.2 Roadster think off Dad and Mum with factory hardtop on most of the time RIP Dad and Mum love ya ❤

Beautiful........ Cheers, John (Australia)

love

Gorgeous!

All that work and money and no air filters fitted to the trumpets :-(

Jaguar, in a class of their own. Great video.

Someone said KFC😁

Amazing car and very interesting video. Well done. How can you not love the sound of that car. Something you wont get with an electric car.

Great vid, thank you.😊😊 Small constructive, until you get microphones on Your interviewees, you have to be quiet unfortunately (well, if you want production value) as your gouce comesacross ashigh volume and theres , as low.

Goodness me that was a terrible review! I know more about the pm’s jag than this one

A "Ground Pounder" in British Racing Green ----------------- TITZ!!!

Too bad you didn’t have control of your audio!😢

Imagine were jaguar would be today if they had made a road going version of that

Nice one.

Did it not have reverse? I would have rather seen it backed into its spot rather than have all those hands on the paint.

wow what a shitty track !

Lovely to see my E type on film . Thank you so much !!! (Just to correct error car is 272 bhp)

Excellent video! More videos of the hill climb would be an extra treat! Keep up the good work. JIM ❤

If only the cameraman went a bit slower and steady with a tad more grace then pace, I could have enjoyed looking at this beauty even longer. The dimensions and the tires / wheel arches are nearly perfection. The front of this car almost looks whimsical just like all the drawings. More like a painting or brochure of the car then it in real life if you crop out the background. Truly stunning. I really need to put on my calendar to go see these cars and speak with their owners. You just don't get a chance stateside to see a group of these majestic darlings around.

What a Beauty! I had a MK VII and MK II and several XJs but always wanted a MK V

Did they ever come like this from the factory??

Looks stunning

Wow...
