Launched in 1959, the Jaguar Mk II was a high-performance luxury saloon that quickly became a staple of 1960s rallying and touring car racing. Offered with 2.4 L, 3.4 L, and 3.8 L variants of Jaguar’s legendary XK DOHC inline-6 engine, it was one of the fastest four-door sedans of its time. Blending elegant styling with serious performance, the Mk II gained popularity with both factory-backed and privateer entries in international competition.
Innovations included standard four-wheel disc brakes (pioneering for the time), rack-and-pinion steering, and excellent visibility thanks to its thin pillars and generous glass area.
Its balance of luxury and speed made it a favored choice for rallying, endurance events, and circuit racing alike.
The Mk II offered a blend of smooth torque delivery and balanced chassis control. Its handling was refined yet capable of spirited performance, while its brakes and steering provided drivers with a confident and responsive feel on both road and stage conditions.
