Our Take:
- Classic British Elegance with a Modern American Twist: The 1967 Jaguar Mark 2 was originally known for its sleek lines and was a favorite among both bank robbers and the police alike in its heyday—thanks to its robust inline-six engine and nimble handling. This particular model has been uniquely transformed with a 351 Short Block Ford engine and C-4 Automatic transmission, which means you're getting a mix of British style with American muscle under the hood. How’s that for a bit of transatlantic flair?
- Rarity Meets Practical Modifications: While the Mark 2 isn’t exactly a unicorn in the realm of classic cars, this specific vehicle is a rare breed due to its combination of modern performance parts. The M&C Wilkinson Ltd power steering conversion makes driving smoother than a cuppa on a rainy London afternoon. With rear leaf springs adding to its stance, the car sports a slightly raised profile—not typical for the Mark 2, but definitely a conversation starter.
- Interior Fusion Across Decades: Inside, you’ve got a fusion of 1967 and 2016 with both the new Jaguar XF seats and originals included. It’s like sitting in the past while enjoying the comfort of the present. This blend offers a unique opportunity for customization, appealing to those who appreciate the finer details of automotive interior design.
- A Tale of Two Mechanic Shops: The extensive mechanical upgrades were carried out by two reputable shops, indicating a significant investment in quality craftsmanship. While there's electrical work still to be tackled, having skilled mechanics who are available for consultations makes it much easier to complete the project. It’s like having the original artists ready to help finish painting the masterpiece.
