Restorations

Production Years: 1962-1969

In 1960 Jaguar acquired Daimler and with a need to increase sales to return that company to profit, a new model was devised based around the Jaguar Mark 2 body shell and trim. Called the Daimler 2.5 litre V8 saloon, the main difference was the fitting of Daimler’s own 2.5 litre V8 engine, mated initially only to an automatic transmission. With subtle trim changes including the use of fluted Daimler grille and boot badging, the car revitalised Daimler sales.

Production years: 1959-1966

The 2.4 & 3.4 litre cars stayed in production until 1959 when a substantially modified car, known as the Mark 2 was announced, at which time the earlier cars became unofficially known as Mark 1s.

The Mark 2 benefited from a larger glass area and a wider rear track to improve handling and the looks. The new model was fitted with more chrome and a completely new interior layout. The Mark 2 was also available with a choice of three engine sizes, 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre.

In good restorable condition considering its age of 37 years old and is indeed a significant future Classic car investment and good value for the money.

The 6-cylinder XJ6 Series 3 remained in production until 1987, the V12 Jaguar until 1991, and the Daimler Double Six until 1992, after which nearly three-quarters of a million XJS had been produced.

In excellent condition considering its age and a significant future Classic car investment with genuine low mileage. A great investment and good value for the money.

The 6-cylinder XJ6 Series 3 remained in production until 1987, the V12 Jaguar until 1991, and the Daimler Double Six until 1992, after which nearly three-quarters of a million XJs had been produced.

Production years: 1994 - 1997

A comprehensive range of models was offered, from standard XJ6, Sport, Sovereign, Daimler, and a new high-performance XJR supercharged 6-cylinder saloon, the first production supercharged engine Jaguar had produced. Each model had its unique styling features and more importantly suspension set-ups so that for example the XJ6 had a softer ride than the Sport, etc. In 1996 long-wheelbase models were offered, the company celebrated the centenary of the Daimler company by producing limited edition Daimler Century models, and a new Executive model was also produced to cater for a younger ‘executive’ market.

Production years: 1961 - 1968

due to changes in legislation in the USA, the E-type had to go through various changes which started with the substitution of the flared in headlights for an open type and some changes to switchgear in the car along with emissions systems for the engine. Interim changed cars were still identified as Series 1 models, but have later become known as Series 1 1/2 because there was no clear differentiation between the earlier and later Series 2 models in the specification

Production years: 1963 - 1968

The compact saloon range was expanded in 1963 with the introduction of the S-type models. Based on the Mark 2 monocoque, revised at the rear to accommodate independent rear suspension (and a larger boot area), the front wings were also modified along with trim. Internally more plush than the Mark 2 with new seating and trim, the car was only available with the larger 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre engines.The S-type models were dropped from the range in 1968.
