1960 Jaguar MKII
S ome insist the Jaguar MKII was the last “proper” sports saloon ever produced by the company. Along with a superb leather interior, an eye-popping wooden dash and a cornucopia of dials and switches, the four-door was wickedly fast – provided you owned the 3.8 liter or 3.4 liter versions. The 2.4 version was much slower.
The MKII, which was available with a four-speed manual transmission or three-speed automatic, also found its way on the race track in saloon competition, and benefitted from its combination of power and finesse.
But this Jaguar provided not just exhilarating performance. With its lovely roof line, curvaceous fenders and prominent hood ornament, and equipped with chrome wire wheels, it was a breathtaking sight. –Larry Sanata
