Barn Find- 1962 MK2 Project for sale- Low miles, low own.

[Jake]

1962 Jaguar MK2 3.8 Auto

Stored around 35 years ago after sparing use by my father

Genuine low mileage, Barn find/restoration project.

 

The MKII was a result of improvements over the prior version, and had quite a following leading to a well deserved British Automotive history.  

Today, it's a highly sought-after gem among collectors and enthusiasts, especially when equipped with the renowned 3.8-liter straight-six engine.

 

This particular early Mark 2 was purchased in 1986 by its current owner, the third in line, and had a genuine mileage of less than 30,000.

After minimal usage, it was stowed away in a barn where it remains to this day.

 

The vehicle seems to be mostly intact, but it clearly demands a full restoration. It will need to be transported as the brakes have become seized over time.

This might not be a project for the faint of heart, given the substantial amount of work needed to restore this Mk 2 to its former glory.

It appears to be mostly intact and boasts an exceptionally low, verified mileage. For the right individual, this could present a fantastic opportunity.
