Jaguar Mark 2

The Jaguar Mark 2 was a mid-sized luxury sports saloon built by Jaguar in Coventry from late 1959 to 1967, following the 2.4 Litre and 3.4 Litre cars now called Mark 1. It was a fast and capable saloon in line with William Lyons's slogan Grace, Space, Pace, available with the 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre versions of the XK engine, and re-engineered above the waistline with an 18 percent larger glass area. Production of the 3.8 ended in autumn 1967, while the 3.4 continued as the 340 until September 1968 and the 2.4 as the 240 until April 1969. A Daimler version with a V8 engine was sold as the 2.5 V8 and later the V8-250. There was no direct successor, though the S-Type of 1963 and the 420 of 1966 were developed from it.
