1965 Jaguar MK2 3.8 Manual

Back in the days of The Sweeney, Jaguar's MK2 was the choice of blaggards and felons in trying to out run Scotland Yard's Ford Granadas. But does the Jaguar MK2 meet the requirements of Sir William Lyons in providing Grace, Pace and Space? We took Great Escape Classic Car Hire's tidy example out and think it probably couldn't define it any better. Read the full review at classiccarsdriv...

Really great car. I also drive a 3.8 Mk2 first reg 1963 in new colour seafrost and never can have enough of it, either driving or polishing. It will drive anywhere thousands and thousands of kms

Classic car!!!!! Jaguar,Grace,Pace and Space,!!!!!..Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Steinwaygrande]

Certainly one of the best Jaguars ever made. Grace-Space-Pace were apt for such a luxury car for its day.

In the sixties you could pick these up for next to nothing. They rusted quickly and were expensive and difficult to repair working in the engine bay was a nightmare.

This is it. Look around at everything automotive we cherish today. I had a MK1 Escort in the early 80s, Simone mechanics by comparison, but at just ten years old I never stopped welding it. Matt

Not forgetting the most famous of the Mk2's, featured in *Inspector Morse* . Beautiful car and one of the joys of the older vehicle is the pleasure of driving experience that can be had without speeding or throwing the car about. Modern cars are so dull

My uncle has an 'estate' version of this. Starting to get a pretty rusty at the rear where the extra fabrication has been done. Am hoping he'll do something towards getting it restored...
