As a retired Jaguar schooled technician over in the UK, I was very impressed by the quality of the vehicle, If I win the Lottery this week I will make him an offer 😉.
I've never even considered Jaguar ownership. This however has me head-over-heels - what a machine! And what a great guy in Mark - build to live in the world you create!
People should take into consideration that California cars that spend their time in beach cities have lots of rot in them because of the moist salty air. The cars that spend their time in California Inland are perfect. But one's by the beach can be eaten up pretty bad. So be careful.
That car is as glorious as a fine glass of scotch. It’s positively gorgeous. A fantastic restomod from bumper to bumper. Thanks for an excellent episode, Hagerty!
I love the MkII, frankly, it might be the first classic car I go after as a father of two school aged kids: the heart of an E-Type, but all four of us can enjoy it. This looks to be one of the finest MkII examples out there.
Okay, now that I am through swooning for a moment. Wow, what an amazing example. I absolutely love that car. One of the most gorgeous sedans of all time.
Just stunning, and done to an impeccable standard. I’ve never considered one of these, like others have written, if I hit the lottery - this would be on my list. Greatly enjoy the Appraiser series, thank you! ~ Chuck
Wonderful. My late aunt in Sweden had one in this gold sand metallic, it was a dream. Many years after she had sold it, she went to a vet with her dog. He looked at the dog and then he was asking for her name and information for the invoice, he stopped writing when she said her surname. He asked if she had owned a Jaguar once. She said I have owned two, oh dear the vet said, please come with me. In the same building as his clinic he had his garage. They went into the garage and there stood my aunts 3.8 L in totally restored condition. She was a tough woman, due to the circumstances as a child she fled in a rowing boat from an Estonian island during the end of WW2 together with her family of seven to Sweden. She however softened and needed a Kleenex when she re-joined in the Jag for a tour with the vet. R.I.P Helena N. Note All cars in Sweden had an owner name sign in the car at this time, and it was still in the car when the vet bought it.
OK... added A/C, made some electrical and cooling mods, engine balanced with lightweight flywheel... what else? Would have been nice to have the owner take a couple minutes to point out all the mods he made than having the appraiser just eyeball and guess about everything.
I love restomods the romance of such a classic ride with the correct touch can be a long term keeper, everyone remembers some classic car but forgets having to got to Napa or Pep Boys for plugs points & condenser. For what they cost to restore "WHY NOT" make it drivable for every day . What a awesome car.
Magnificent example! Classy in all respects! British as hell too! Money very well spent! You cannot do this on the cheap! Brilliant and terrific too! Well done America! Cheers
I want one. Especially if you know the history both of the company and the fact this was THE choice of the day for UK crooks looking to outrun the plod after a heist, you know how special the Mark 2 is. This is the aforementioned turned up past 11. Gorgeous car, thank you to Hagerty for featuring it. Cheers! 🖖😎👍
I bought my jaguar mark 2 in 1977 for £700 pounds I bought it from chivas regal the whiskey 🥃 company in paisley Scotland 🏴 uk 🇬🇧 it was a 1964 2.4 automatic it was a beautiful dark wine colour with red leather upholstery it had only done 43 thousand miles from new it had been garaged and chauffeur driven from it was in as good condition as the one in the video for a tiny fraction of the. Price this one is beautiful
It is certainly a pretty car but definitely not something I have ever lusted after or desired. The Jaguar E type, absolutely or the XJSS but these are obvious special but for a "hot rod" sedan since I am a red-blooded American I might rather have a GM sedan with a LSA or LT4 swap and 6 speed with suspension, brakes, and wheels. They made several sedans that look very close to the more popular 2 door models.
Yes! This has always been one of my favorite cars so with that in mind if I were in the market I wouldn’t be frightened away by the estimated auction price. I would jump on it in a heartbeat.
Breaks my heart, a plastic pic-up truck sells for over 80 grand. Yet this piece of art is worth the same. I don't think so. This vehicle was hand built with love. Those trucks roll off an assembly line. SMH
I see a few minor changes, not a hatchet job. Frankly, I would prefer this over a completely original car since it is more usable. Air conditioning just makes it driveable in summer, and the triple carb setup looks great. Also, these cars were not designed to cool in the southern US, so the cooling mods are a necessity for the car to be driven.
I thank him for spending the time and money to create a modernized version of a timeless classic. I love the car. So elegant.
If you want a 'new' car, then why not just buy a new car? :0)

Now…if I can just get this guy to let it go for a glass of fine scotch! Might be a challenge.
Cheers! 🖖😎👍
It's just like new. Like it's teleported with a time machine. Gorgeous.
Better than new!
I think there are people who like it & some who simply dont, there is a car for everyone

I feel like Bring a Trailer would bring $140k -$180k... bidding wars have brought some crazy numbers to the table.
I can imagine there are not many LHD versions left out there, much fewer anywhere NEAR this pristine.

Magnificent! That legendary engine won Le Mans five times in the 50's.

Best example of the the best jag ever. There is no fair price for it.
When you see a car like this don't modern cars look crap Stunning
Amazing car!! I'd LOVE to see a good running video of this Jaguar having some fun!
Fantastic car! Brings back fond childhood memories of my father’s 1961 MK 2 3.8!
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous, and I was shocked to hear the owner say he thought it was worth 80K.
Great to see Tony and the boys addition. Loved the Jaguar.

Sweet Jag! Nice work Mark! Appreciate you using the proper name for the bonnet :D
Rather “bespoke” it would appear. A once in a lifetime ownership.
OK... added A/C, made some electrical and cooling mods, engine balanced with lightweight flywheel... what else? Would have been nice to have the owner take a couple minutes to point out all the mods he made than having the appraiser just eyeball and guess about everything.
Yes a missed opportunity. You can tell the owner wanted to point out all the mods.
Beautiful paint, beautiful interior and an overall beautiful car.
Great looking mk2 but the strong market for these was in the 90s now the big money is going into the jaguar xjc coupe especially the V12 cars.
A car that was very popular amongst bank robbers in the UK, the police had no cars that came even remotely close.
Until the police started using the rover p6 with the 3.5 L v8 ,it was named the jag eater

I own the same car in opalescent blue--perfection!
As the early Jaguar adverts stated: Grace, Space and Pace.
With all his upgrades and work, it would be more than true today.

Fastened to the bottom of the trunk lid , from inside, there was a full , chromed toolbox.
'One of the best engines ever made'....
'It is a Jaguar though, let's see if it starts' 😂
British cars were well none for electrical problems back in the day
I thought it was some smaller version of a Rolls in the thumb nail pictures. Beautiful restoration.
An owner that is realistic in expectations on value!
They are gaining in value like most English marques in great condition or restored!
Beautiful car especially the paint color. 100k would be a great price for it. That car looks good whether it sits still or is moving.
I would've thought 120k on the low end. It's just so clean and classy.
It's a total beauty. Wire wheels! Wow! Yes, I too think it's worth more than 100k.

Great looking car. A car most everyone would want to drive and enjoy.
I'm from Coventry and love seeing Jaguars' and their owners keeping the classics going.
Very nice Jag, my dad had one just like it.
I LOVE THIS CAR🔥🔥
gorgeous jag
Iv always loved the mk 2 they would have been so much more appealing with air/ power windows/ steering ect
Absolutely stunning machine.🏆
He would be my best friend, if I lived nearby. God Bless people with his vision…and bank account
Very nice car love them
Could this be used as a daily driver?
LOVE it.
Kinetic art
Undoubtedly, definitely, all Jaguars suffer from overheating and poor electric system. My father owned one , and it was a winter car .
Exquisite.
Estatic satisfection
Sweet Ja-a-a-a-g!
That is an absolutely awesome car. If I was in the market for one of those things I would buy it.

No original tool kit?
Yes! This has always been one of my favorite cars so with that in mind if I were in the market I wouldn’t be frightened away by the estimated auction price. I would jump on it in a heartbeat.
Bellissima e colore stupendo
People who restore the car to resell and make a profit, are missing the big picture
WOW AWESOME AMAZING FANTASTIC MAGICAL SUPERB TOP
❤️
It's stereotypical to wonder if a Jag will start.
Extra $45K?
Maybe $45K.
A Beachem Jag over this
Its beautiful but the poor SU carbs really put me off. Just think what some webbers would do for it! Would probably fetch £40k in the UK today.
Weber’s are always better but you have to like how he kept it like something Jaguar would have built.
for those who care
that car is MINT
I would never compare a Jaguar to a Cadillac in any era with a stupid comparison just not the same thing
Drool.
No. :0)

Nope. I wouldn't spend that much an any car.
Understand but nope.
£250k all day long 80k dollars rubbish the guy is talking B\S.
British vehicles are extremely touchy and are a PITA to own. If it’s not an XKE, who cares?!! It’s as exciting as an old Land Rover.
...... says the great Professor of All There Is To Know.
Zero interest.
Why butcher a classic?
Doesn't seem like he butchered anything if you ask me.
Start off with an example that's unrestorable. Not a one owner original.
That often winds up costing significantly more to restore that starting with a good car.

Great shame Americans can not pronounce Jaguar...it’s embarrassing
Great video , great car.
Lol... Never. - Not in this lifetime or any other.
I wouls spend this,
_Perfect._ 🫡
