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.
