For many the definitive Jaguar sports saloon, the MkII was introduced in October 1959. A peerless blend of elegance and muscularity, its sleek lines clothed an evolution of the Coventry marque's first monocoque. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Mans victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Equipped with coil-and-wishbone independent front suspension, a leaf-sprung Salisbury rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Available with 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 Litre engines and with either automatic or manual transmissions, the MkII is still a desirable and usable classic in modern times.

According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, '757 LCV' was first supplied in Pearl Grey with a Red interior by Henlys of London on 15th May 1961 and we understand from the buff logbook that this was to John Geoffrey King of the Red Lion Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall. Mr King only owned the MkII for around a year with David Bridges of St Agnes, Cornwall becoming the second owner from 1962. It is believed that the sports saloon passed through two more keepers before being restored in the 1990s which is documented within the history folder. The vendor bought the Jaguar in 1997 and has continued to enjoy and maintain it since then.
