Description
As facelifts go, the Jaguar Mk2 was a spectacular success. What was essentially an update of the 2.4 and 3.4 saloons, retrospectively called the Mk1, even the Mk2’s name was chosen to reflect it was a revised model rather than an all-new car. However, the transformation was sensational and took the Coventry firm’s compact four-door model from good to great.

As facelifts go, the Jaguar Mk2 was a spectacular success. What was essentially an update of the 2.4 and 3.4 saloons, retrospectively called the Mk1, even the Mk2’s name was chosen to reflect it was a revised model rather than an all-new car. However, the transformation was sensational and took the Coventry firm’s compact four-door model from good to great. It helped that Jaguar boss Sir William Lyons had an unerring eye for the lines of his cars, which resulted in the Mk2’s larger glass area, thinner pillars all round, and the subtle use of extra chrome.
Other changes for the Mk2 were less obvious, such as the 3-inch (76mm) wider rear axle to address some handling concerns of the Mk1. There were also disc brakes on all four corners as standard for the Mk2 as Jaguar realised its customers were apt to make full use of the car’s performance given the company’s sporting image. Under the bonnet, the XK six-cylinder engine remained in place, but the Mk1’s 2.4-litre engine gained a new cylinder head to increase power from earlier car’s 112bhp to 120bhp. Few changes were needed to the 3.4-litre motor other than larger exhaust valves and higher lift camshafts to up power to a very healthy 210bhp.
