An evolution of the MK I which was the first monocoque JAGUAR sedan, the MK II manages to elevate an already very successful line, both chic and sporty. The 3.8L version boasts an impressive 220 horsepower for the time. This engine is paired with the famous "Moss" gearbox. Reliable and solid, it remains heavy to maneuver. The same goes for the rigid rear axle, which appears archaic compared to the performance of the mechanics and chassis. However, the whole forms a homogeneous car, much sportier than its large sedan line would suggest. The MK II will indeed be involved in numerous prestigious rallies where it will not just be a background player.
