Factory-Original Jaguar Mk 1 & Mk 2 - Originaly guide including 240, 340, S-Type, 420, Daimler V8 and Sovereign
When Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar, introduced the 2.4 Litre sports saloon in 1956, it quickly became a success. A year later, the faster 3.4 Litre model was offered, reaching speeds of 120mph. In 1960, both were replaced by the Mark II models, which included a 3.8 Litre option. The range continued to grow with the introduction of the 1964 S-Type, the 4.2 Litre 420 in 1967, and the 240/340 models in 1968, along with the Daimler V8 and Sovereign models.
The success of these cars is credited to Lyons's intuition for what buyers wanted and his keen eye for design. The iconic six-cylinder XK engine powered Jaguar models from 1948 to 1985, while the Daimler featured the V8 engine.
These cars are considered classics, with originality being a key focus for current and potential owners.
