This Jaguar Mk II was dispatched to the US on July 21, 1966, sold new in San Francisco, California, refurbished in black over tan leather in the early 1990s, and acquired by its current owner in 2013. Power comes from a 3.8-liter straight-six paired with a replacement three-speed automatic transmission, and features include a Webasto sliding sunroof, wire wheels, a period Radiomobile AM radio, and more.
Accessories include a single driver-side mirror and rear fender skirts. Chrome 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with Firestone wide-whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel is fitted in the trunk along with a factory tool kit. Woodhead shocks were installed during the 1990s refurbishment along with replacement front coil and rear leaf springs. Braking is handled by Dunlop discs at all four corners.
Originally trimmed in dark blue, the cabin was reupholstered in tan leather with matching door panels and carpets during the 1990s refurbishment. Wood trim was sent to England for refinishing at the time. Amenities include a period Radiomobile AM radio, wing windows, and fold-down rear trays.
A wood-rimmed Derrington steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline. Gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel, and amperage are mounted in a central panel. Just over 5k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, with total mileage unknown.
The 3.8-liter straight-six was rebuilt on a replacement block during the 1990s work, while the cylinder head stamping matches both the chassis tag and Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. Twin SU carburetors are fitted along with a stock air cleaner housing, polished cam covers, and a Mallory electronic ignition system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a replacement Borg-Warner M12 three-speed automatic transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
