1965 Jaguar MK II 3.4
1965 Jaguar MK II finished in British Racing Green. Right-hand drive, rear-wheel drive, powered by the 3.4-litre twin-cam inline-six petrol engine with twin SU carburettors, paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Seating for four. Chassis No 167547BW, Engine No KJ56138. Located at Acacia Ridge, QLD.
Description / Overview:
Few cars carry the MK II's combination of elegance, performance reputation, and sheer visual presence. Introduced in 1959, it became the definitive British sporting saloon of its era, equally at home on the track (touring car wins across Europe), in the boardroom car park, and, famously, in a long-running UK police TV series that cemented its legend. The 3.4-litre variant sits in the middle of the range and offers the right balance of performance and reliability for a regular driver.
This example presents in excellent condition throughout. The British Racing Green paint has real depth with strong gloss, the chrome is consistently bright across bumpers, grille, window surrounds, and door furniture. Inside, the tan leather is well preserved with the original pleated pattern intact and no splits. The burr walnut dashboard and door cappings are in genuinely good condition. The engine bay has been professionally cleaned and detailed, with twin SU carburettors confirmed correct for the 3.4L specification, along with several practical upgrades including braided stainless hoses and blue silicone HT leads.
The vendor advises several usability improvements have been made including near new tyres, alloy radiator, electric cooling fan, and power steering. These are the right kind of modifications on a 60-year-old car. Modern inertia reel seatbelts have also been fitted, which is sensible. The "GB" badge on the boot confirms UK origin. This is a well-sorted, usable classic in one of the best colour and interior combinations you can get on a MK II.
