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 design. Powered by derivatives of the same XK DOHC straight-six engine that had swept Jaguar to five Le Man's victories, the MkII was quick to dominate contemporary saloon car racing. Synonymous with the swinging ’60s and the hit TV series, Inspector Morse, the Jaguar MkII has been used as a vehicle to transport everyone from dignitaries and politicians to bank robbers and the criminal select. When released, traditional Jaguar buyers had no need to feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day. With 112bhp available, the 2.4 was not overly burdened with pace so, importantly, coupled with a manual gearbox it would be the more frugal of the range.

Finished in its original shade of Opalescent Dark Green complemented to a suede Green interior, offered here is a UK market right-hand drive car with a manual gearbox with overdrive. 'CEK' ('EK' being the Wigan registration area code) was built on the 20th of April 1966 and was originally supplied by H.H Timberlake of Wigan, Lancashire, with the date of dispatch from the distributor, Parkers of Bolton, being the 6th of May, 1966, to its first owner Threadgold Construction Ltd of Liverpool.

With just 2 former keepers recorded on the V5C, 'CEK' has been in current ownership since 1991. Currently displaying some 81,700 credible miles, the bodywork was the subject of restoration work in the early 90s up until 2013. Benefitting from mechanical fettling in c.2011, 'CEK' has had a stainless exhaust system, re-wiring, the suspension re-bushed, the brake system seals, pipes and hoses have had attention also, along with a modern servo. A current MOT certificate is in place up until the 16th of May, 2024. Offered to a new owner for the first time in over 30 years the MkII, it is accompanied by an original lubrication chart, a collection of old MOT paperwork and invoices, the MkII's driver's handbook, a Jaguar service book. There is also a JDHT certificate on file.
