For sale: Jaguar MKII 3.4L (1967), 46 years the same owner. History of the Jaguar MKII 3.4L model Introduced in 1959, the Jaguar MKII (Mark 2) quickly established itself as one of the most iconic sports sedans of its time. A direct evolution of the Jaguar MKI, it benefits from significant improvements both aesthetically and technically. Since its launch, the MKII has stood out for its enlarged glass area, which offers better visibility, as well as for its more streamlined and balanced lines, which enhance its typically British elegance. The interior, for its part, reflects all the artistry of Jaguar with a refined presentation that mixes woods, leather, and complete instrumentation. The 3.4L version, positioned between the 2.4L and the 3.8L, is equipped with the famous XK inline six-cylinder engine of 3,442 cm³. This engine develops about 210 horsepower, offering an excellent compromise between performance and ease of use. Paired with a manual transmission with overdrive or an automatic transmission depending on the configurations, it allows the MKII to achieve remarkable performance for a sedan of this category in the 1960s. The Jaguar MKII 3.4L is also distinguished by its advanced road behavior, thanks in particular to the disc brakes on all four wheels, a technology still rare at the time, which gives it a powerful and durable braking system. Very quickly, the MKII became a benchmark, both on the road and in competition. It excelled in numerous touring races and attracted a diverse clientele, ranging from sports car enthusiasts to personalities from the film and business worlds. Produced until 1967, the Jaguar MKII remains today an icon of British motoring, appreciated for its timeless elegance, comfort, and performance. The 3.4L version, in particular, represents an ideal balance, making it a highly sought-after model among collectors.
