Jaguar Mark 2 (1959 to 1969)

The Jaguar MK II (a/k/a Mk2, Mark 2, or Mark II) is a mid-sized luxury sports saloon built from late 1959 to 1969* by Jaguar in Coventry, England. The previous Jaguar 2.4 Litre and 3.4 Litre models made between 1955 and 1959 are identified as Mark 1 Jaguars. The Mark 2 was a fast and capable saloon, available with all three versions of the advanced Jaguar XK6 I6 engine, the 2.4, 3.4, and 3.8 litre. *Production of the 3.8 ended in the autumn of 1967, with discounted sale of the 3.4 continuing on as the Jaguar 340 until September 1968, and the 2.4 as the Jaguar 240 until April 1969. There was no direct successor to the Mark 2 series. The 3.8 litre Jaguar S-Type, an upscaled and refined version of the Mark 2, had already appeared in 1963, well before the first of the Mark 2 models was discontinued.
