Few cars represent classic British sporting luxury as convincingly as the Jaguar Mk II, and this 1961 3.8-liter example stands out as an exceptionally well-preserved and tastefully presented car. Finished in a striking two-tone Blue and Silver, this Mark II looks great, highlighting the model’s iconic curves and balanced proportions. The paint presents cleanly and evenly, and the brightwork remains crisp, lending the car an elegant presence. It’s being offered here as a Barn Finds Exclusive.

Inside, the Jaguar continues to impress. The red leather interior is rich in color and character, pairing perfectly with the exterior finish. The wood veneer dashboard and trim remain in excellent condition, with clear gauges and original switchgear creating a cabin that feels both period-correct and inviting. It’s the sort of interior that reminds you why Jaguar was the go-to brand for luxury sports sedans in the early 1960s.

Under the hood sits Jaguar’s legendary 3.8-liter inline-six, paired here with an automatic transmission. Known for its smooth power delivery and effortless cruising ability, the 3.8 Mk II offered genuine performance in its day while maintaining refinement—making it equally suited for relaxed touring or spirited back-road driving.

This example rides on chrome wire wheels, completing the classic look and reinforcing its timeless appeal. Everything about the car suggests careful ownership and pride of presentation rather than deferred maintenance or cosmetic shortcuts. Notably, this Jaguar is not being sold due to issues or neglect. The owner states the only reason for parting with it is the recent purchase of a Triumph TR6, prompting a thoughtful reduction of the collection rather than a forced sale.

Clean, well-kept Mk IIs have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples that retain such a strong visual presence and interior condition. Whether you’re a longtime Jaguar enthusiast or someone looking to experience one of the marque’s most beloved models, this 1961 Jaguar 3.8 Mk II represents a compelling opportunity. As always, we encourage interested buyers to review the photos closely, ask questions, and enjoy the chance to own a true British motoring icon.
