Buyer’s notes
About the Jaguar Mk2 2.4
The Mk2 arrived in October 1959, and the 2.4 was its entry model, with the smallest version of the XK six. 25,173 were built to 1967, after which a simplified 240 continued until April 1969.
What moves the price
- Structure: sills, front chassis legs and rear spring mountings are costly to repair properly.
- Originality: the specification against the car’s records, as many Mk2s have been modified.
- History: documented engine and body work.
Before you buy, check
- The sills and A-posts (poor door fit suggests rot in the front of the sills), and the front chassis legs and jacking points.
- The rear spring hangers, the Panhard rod mounting in the offside rear wheelarch and the anti-roll bar mountings.
- Oil under the car, which can mean a failed rear crankshaft seal, and a gearbox that does not jump out of gear.
