DESCRIPTION
The Jaguar Mark II, first introduced in late 1959 as a replacement for the Mark I, was the second iteration of a four door saloon by the Coventry automaker. Sir William Lyons adage of “Grace…pace…space” had certainly been further tweaked from the Mark I, as the Mark II was even more elegant, faster and roomier than its predecessor! Offered with the standard host of luxury features expected from Jaguar, the car was available with three different versions of the XK engine ranging from a relatively tame 2.5L unit to a beefier 3.4L and all the way to the 3.8L cars, fitted standard with twin SU HD6 carburetors. The flagship 3.8 motor shared a block, crankshaft, rods and pistons with the XKE; it had one carburetor and 30 less hp. Inside, the car had even more burled walnut and leather, in addition to a revised heating system and 20% more greenhouse glass. The Mark I had a notoriously narrow rear track (4 inches narrower than the front) and the Mark II’s revised suspension geometries and live rear axle reduced the amicable difference.

Jaguar launched two new models in 1961: the Mark X (Mark 10) saloon and the wonderful E-Type. Both were fitted with triple SU carbs and newly developed independent rear suspension. It was at this point that Sir William Lyons decided that the Mark II could use updating to remain competitive in the market. Devised as a major redesign of the Mark II, the S-type adopted a medium scale version of the Mark X’s independent rear suspension, as well as a noticeably longer rear end and interior updates. Europe got the choice of 3.4 and 3.8 S-Types while the US only got the top range 3.8 S-Type, which shared its motor with the Mark II. Further differences from the Mark II included a revised 3.5 lock-to-lock Burman power steering rack, replacing the old 4.3 lock-to-lock unit that was criticized for being excessively slow. Further structural and cosmetic changes to accommodate the S-Type’s independent rear and widened 54” rear track added almost 350 pounds. To compensate, the center of gravity was lowered with a revised roofline and sleeker rear end. The single 14 US gallon fuel tank in the Mark II was replaced with dual 8 gallon fuel tanks so that the spare tire compartment could be lowered and centered. Inside, a smaller scale Mark X burled walnut dash with cupholder / tray table and parcel shelf were added as well as new controls for the once again revised heating system. Small, concealed armrests were added to the wider front seats that had new integrated fore/aft adjustment. The rear passengers were also treated to a center armrest and Mark X style folding picnic trays. On paper, the added weight of the S-Type looked as if it could really dampen the fun but performance figures of the time didn’t lie…the 3.8 S-Type with an Automatic transmission could muster 0-60 in 11.5 seconds and could go on to 116 mph! As a result, they were very popular for people on both sides of the law.

We are very excited to offer this 1965 Jaguar 3.8 S-Type saloon! Finished in Sherwood Green over Red Ambla upholstery, this Jaguar is sure to catch attention! Fitted with its original, numbers matching 3.8L motor with correct twin SU HD6 carbs, it also has the following factory options: Automatic transmission, AM/FM radio, Speed-hold and Chrome wire knock-off wheels! This car maintains standard features such as full Smiths gauges (speedometer/odometer, tachometer/clock, water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level and amps), Lucas day/night rear-view mirror, dual visors with passenger vanity mirror, four wheel disc brakes, Powr-Lok limited-slip rear end with 3.54 gearing, bumper guards, and seat belts. Looking closer, you will find original 1964 date-coded Triplex glass and the original owner’s manual.

While the car does run and drive, we are presenting the car as a project. The exterior of the car has been partially repainted and clear coated and the red interior appears to have been replaced at some point. Both are showing signs of wear and age, as is the burled walnut on the dash, which we believe to be original. This car has brand new chrome wire wheels wrapped in Michelin HydroEdge 205/70 R15 tires. The exterior chrome with the exception of the bumpers, is in decent shape; the door trim is shiny and smooth but the bumpers, hood trim, license plate surround, passenger front door handle and emblem will likely need redone. In the interior, the chrome is in excellent shape and all the wood on the doors, B-pillars and rear is all new. As mentioned, the dash appears original and untouched. In the trunk is an original wire wheel and a tool kit complete except for one screwdriver. Once warmed up, this Jaguar runs great, shifts smooth and has no trouble getting up to speed. The car comes with a plethora of service records including $18,801 in receipts and records since 2006. They were done at Autos of Europe, Inc of Manchester, MO and are as follows:

6/19/06 - $8,732.67 – Cooling system service, reseal intake manifold, repair rear subframe, brake fluid service, replace rear brakes and rotors, remove and install rear suspension, replace rear brake calipers, replace emergency brake system, install thermostat and repair housing, replace radiator and fuel hoses, differential service and reseal, remove and rebuild carbs, oil filter, replace tie rod ends, replace center line, repair shut-off valve and a transmission service.

11/29/07 - $4,172.67 – Adjust carb, replace tires, balance wheels, replace front brakes and rotors, repair front brake calipers, check and repair heater blower, remove and reinstall all rear wood panels.

9/28/12 - $2,467.31 – Oil change, check tire pressures, fluid top-off, carburetor float rebuild, remove fuel tank/inspect/seal/reinstall, remove and replace fuel cold sender, replace exhaust from the manifold back, powder coat manifold black.

The car presents a drivable project for a Jaguar enthusiast looking to restore a classic saloon! The odometer shows 80,086 miles and it is working. We believe these miles to be original but have no way of being certain. We would be more than happy to answer any additional questions and better explain any aspects of the car that may be of further interest! Thanks for looking!

Jaguar tests autonomous vehicle technology with 100-car fleet

Wed, Jul 13 2016

Jaguar Land Rover is exploring how to take autonomous vehicle technology off the paved path. But the company has plans for technology on tarmac, too. The company announced that the Jaguar division will have a fleet of 100 cars testing autonomous technologies on public roads. The testing process will cover a period of four years and begin with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication systems, along with a stereo camera system and autonomous vehicle software. These systems will work together to provide a variety of features that could make their way into future Jaguars and Land Rovers. The first feature in development is called "Roadwork Assist." The system relies on the stereo camera to create a 3D image the car's software can analyze. The software can identify road cones and other barriers associated with construction sites. The car will then alert the driver about entering the construction zone and provide some steering assistance to keep the car centered in its lane. Tony Harper, Jaguar's head of research, said that this system can reduce stress on the driver, and the technology could eventually be used to allow the car to pilot itself through construction zones. Another of Jaguar's proposed features is "Safe Pullaway," which also relies on cameras and software. The Safe Pullaway feature is designed to prevent close-proximity collisions in traffic jams and even in the garage. To do this, the car watches the area immediately ahead of it for obstacles. If the car detects something nearby while the driver adds throttle or shifts into gear, it will apply the brakes to prevent driving into the object. The final project on Jaguar's plate is its "Over the Horizon Warning" system. This will be one of the first features to rely on Jaguar's vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. The idea is that connected cars in constant communication will give drivers additional warning of upcoming hazards, such as out-of-sight animals and slowed or stopped cars. In Jaguar's example of a stopped car, the stationary vehicle would send a signal alerting approaching cars of the situation. In turn, the approaching vehicles would trigger audible and visual warnings to drivers about the hidden car. Jaguar says that the system could also be applied to emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles would broadcast a signal to alert drivers well before the lights and sirens get their attention. This would give emergency vehicles a faster, safer path through traffic.

Jaguar could still revive XK as luxury grand tourer

Tue, Dec 9 2014

With the F-Type taking the lion's – or Jaguar's – share of attention lately, it would be all too easy to forget all about a Jag once known as the XK. But it existed, and it could once again. First introduced in 1996 as the XK8 to replace the old XJS, the XK survived for two generations. It was available as a 2+2 coupe or convertible and was powered by Jaguar's signature AJ-V8 engine. By the time it was discontinued just this past summer, the ultimate XKR-S packed as much as 542 horsepower. But though it had two more seats, the XK was rendered largely obsolete by the arrival of the nimbler, newer and arguably more stylish F-Type. According to Autocar, however, the XK could be reinstated with a more GT-like approach. The XK as we've known it, said Jaguar's Ross Varney to the British weekly, "straddled the GT and sports car segment, with more of an emphasis on the GT side but probably not enough." Varney was in charge of the F-Type project and was also responsible for a new project to replace the XK until it was shut down earlier this year. "We have plans to do lots more with the F-Type," said Varney, "but there will still be other areas we want to cover. We need to find the right way to deliver on them, and the XK could be one way of doing that." What Varney is saying, essentially, is that while the XK project may not be moving forward just yet, it could be revived in the near future. If it did, we'd be looking at a more accommodating and luxurious grand tourer, different from the F-Type that's more of a focused sports car. Think of it, then, as more of a Bentley Continental GT, but probably less expensive - or put another way, if the F-Type is a junior Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the new XK would be a (relatively) more accessible DB9. The intel sounds similar to what we heard when the most recent XK was being put out to pasture, but tells us that hope is still alive for those interested in a two-door Jag with room for the kids in the back.

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
