These retrospectively became known as the Jaguar Mark 1 following the release of the Mark 2 in 1959. (Eric Dymock, The Jaguar File, 3rd edition, 2004, Dove Publishing.) Contents 1 History 2 Production 3 Performance 4 Motorsport 5 Influence on modern Jaguars 6 Portrayal in media 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links [edit] History Adhering to Sir William Lyons' maxim of "grace, pace and space", the Mark 2 was a beautiful, fast and capable saloon. It came with a 120 bhp 2.4 L, 210 bhp 3.4 L or 220 bhp 3.8 L Jaguar XK6 engine.[2] The 3.8 is similar to the unit used in the 3.8 E-Type (XKE), having the same block, crank, connecting rods and pistons but different inlet manifold and carburetion (two SUs versus three on the E-Type in Europe) and therefore 30 bhp less. The head of the six cylinder engine in the Mark 2 had curved ports compared to the straight ports of the E-Type configuration. For markets other than the US the 3.4 was fitted with twin SU carburettors and the 2.4 with twin Solexes, but three Solexes were used in US spec 3.4s and 3.8s in order to meet SMOG emissions legislation. This reduced power output over the equivalent SU carburetted examples. The Daimler 2.5 litre engine was fitted to the Daimler 250 derivative of the Mark 2 (In European markets known as the Daimler 2.5-V8 then Daimler V8-250), having first been used in the Daimler SP250 sports car (the SP250 was originally known as the Daimler Dart but "Dart" was a trademark of Dodge and had to be dropped by Daimler under threat of legal action.) The aluminium alloy Daimler engine was lighter than the cast iron block Jaguar sixes, therefore reducing the mass over the front wheels and hence reducing understeer compared to the XK-powered versions under hard cornering. These models were recognisable by the characteristic Daimler wavy fluting incorporated in the chrome grille instead of the Jaguar badge and figurine. The Mark 2 was discontinued in September 1967 and replaced by the 240 and 340, so named to distinguish them from the old 2.4 and 3.4 which, as noted above, became known as the Mark 1 following the introduction of the Mark 2 in 1959. The Jaguar 240 and 340 were interim models to fill the gap until the introduction of the XJ6 in September 1968. The 340 was discontinued immediately but the 240 continued as a budget priced model until April 1969; its price of £1364 was only £20 more than the first 2.4 in 1956. (Eric Dymock, The Jaguar File, 3rd edition, 2004, Dove Publishing.) The economies of the new 240 and 340 models came at a cost - the leather upholstery was replaced by 'Ambla' leather-like material and slimmer, more economical front and rear bumpers were introduced. Other changes included the replacement of the front fog lamps with circular vents and optional fog lamps for the UK market. The sales price was reduced to compete with the Rover 2000 TC.[3] The 240's performance was improved over the old 2.4 model by upgrading the 2.4's cylinder head and twin Solex carburettors to the straight port 'E-Type' head and twin SU carburettors. For the first time the 2.4 litre model could exceed 100 mph (Eric Dymock, The Jaguar File, 3rd edition, 2004, Dove Publishing.) [4] resulting in a slight sales resurgence. [edit] Production Mark 2, 1959 to 1967 83,976 Mark 2s were built, split as follows:[2] 2.4 - 25,173 3.4 - 28,666 3.8 - 30,141 240 and 340 series, 1967 to 1969 total production 7,246 as follows:[2] 240 - 4,446 340 - 2,788 380 - 12 (not a standard production option) Jaguar replaced the 240 and 340 with the XJ6 in September 1968. [edit] Performance A 3.4 litre car with automatic transmission tested by The Motor magazine in 1961 had a top speed of 119.9 mph (193.0 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.9 seconds. A touring fuel consumption of 19.0 miles per imperial gallon (14.9 L/100 km; 15.8 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £1951 including taxes of £614.[1] A 3.8 litre car with the 220 bhp engine was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.5 seconds and could reach a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).[5][6][7] [edit] Motorsport The Mark 2 was raced successfully in the European Touring Car Championship. [edit] Influence on modern Jaguars The Mark 2's body lines, derived from the Mark 1, and overall layout proved sufficiently popular over time to provide an inspiration for both the Jaguar S-Type introduced in 1999 and the smaller X-Type debuted in 2001. [edit] Portrayal in media Jaguar Mark 2 The Mark 2 gained a reputation as a capable car among criminals and law enforcement alike; the 3.8 Litre model being particularly fast with its 220 bhp (164 kW) engine driving the car from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.5 seconds and to a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h) with enough room for five adults.[5][6][7] Popular as getaway cars, they were also employed by the Police to patrol British motorways. The Mark 2 is also well known as the car driven by fictional TV detective Inspector Morse played by John Thaw, although Morse's car was the least desirable version (with its 2.4 L engine, steel wheels and everflex roof). It was often pushed into scenes with engine noises dubbed onto the soundtrack in post-production. In November 2005, the car used in the television series sold for more than GBP 100,000 following a total ground-up rebuild (prior to this, in its recommissioned state in 2002 after coming out of storage, it had made GBP 53,000 at auction - some GBP 45,000 more than an equivalent without the history).[8] In the original novels by Colin Dexter, Morse had driven a Lancia but Thaw insisted on his character driving a British car in the television series. John Thaw stated in one interview that the Jaguar was "an absolute beggar to drive ". [edit] Notes ^ a b "The Jaguar 3.4 litre Mark 2". The Motor. 16 August 1961.  ^ a b c Robson, Graham (2006).

Referred to in contemporary company documentation as the Jaguar 2.4-litre and Jaguar 3.4-litre, the word "Saloon" was often added. The designation "Mark 1" was included retrospectively upon its replacement by the Mark 2. The 2.4-litre was the company's first small saloon since the demise of its 1½ Litre cars in 1949, and was an immediate success, easily outselling the larger Jaguar saloons. Contents 1 History 2 Performance 3 Racing 4 Mike Hawthorn 5 References 6 Other sources 7 External links [edit] History In 1951 Jaguar relocated to their Browns Lane plant which provided not merely sufficient production capacity for their existing range, but enabled them to move into the middle weight executive sedan sector,[3] then occupied in the UK by cars such as the stately Humbers, the bulbous Standard Vanguard and the heavy Rover P4. Jaguar's new 2.4 and 3.4 introduced a modern style and a new level of performance to this respectable company. Although having a family resemblance to the larger Mark VII, the Mark I differed in many ways. Most importantly, it was the first Jaguar with unitary construction of body and chassis. The car's independent front suspension featured double wishbones, coil springs, and an anti-roll bar. The front suspension subframe was mounted on the body by rubber mounts. The live rear axle was positively located by quarter elliptic leaf springs, trailing arms and a Panhard rod in a manner reminiscent of the Jaguar D-type, being a significant improvement over the other saloons and XK sports cars. The rear wheel track was some 4.5 in (114 mm) narrower than the front track and looked peculiar from behind, a feature that was blamed (probably incorrectly) for excessive understeer[1] at low speed. It was reported to be better balanced at higher speeds. The interior was of similar design to the contemporary Jaguar saloons and sports cars, with most of the dials and switches being located on the central dashboard between the driver and passenger. This arrangement reduced the differences between LHD and RHD versions. Although its profile was very different from that of previous Jaguars, the side window surrounds and opening rear 'no draught ventilator' (quarterlight) windows are reminiscent of Jaguar Mark IV saloons. At launch the car had 11.125 in (283 mm) drum brakes but from the end of 1957 got the innovative (at the time) option of disc brakes on all four wheels. Initially, the Mark 1 was offered with a 2.4 litre short-stroke version of the XK120's twin-cam six-cylinder engine, rated at 112 bhp gross, but from 1957 the larger and heavier 3.4 litre 210 bhp unit already used in the Jaguar Mark VIII also became available, largely in response to pressure from US Jaguar dealers. Wire wheels became available. The 3.4 had a larger front grille, a stronger rear axle, and rear wheel covers (spats) were cut away to accommodate the wire wheels' spinners. In Autumn 1957 a three speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission became available with either engine. From 1957 the 2.4 also got the larger grille. The car was available in Standard or Special Equipment versions with the former lacking rev counter, heater (available as an option), windscreen washers, fog lights and cigarette lighter. Both versions did however have leather upholstery and polished walnut trim. 19,992 of the 2.4 and 17,405 of the 3.4 litre versions were made.[1] [edit] Performance A 2.4-litre saloon with overdrive was tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1956. It was found to have a top speed of 101.5 mph (163.3 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 14.4 seconds. A fuel consumption of 18.25 miles per imperial gallon (15.48 L/100 km; 15.20 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £1532 including taxes. [2] They went on to test a 3.4-litre automatic saloon in 1957. This car had a top speed of 119.8 mph (192.8 km/h), acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.2 seconds and a fuel consumption of 21.1 miles per imperial gallon (13.4 L/100 km; 17.6 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £1864 including taxes of £622. [4] A manual overdrive version of the 3.4-litre was tested by The Autocar in June 1958. Its 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time was 9.1 seconds, and 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 26 seconds, little more than 1 second behind the contemporary XK150 with the same engine. [5] [edit] Racing Mark I 3.4-litre saloons competed successfully in many rallies, touring car, and saloon car races, notable drivers including Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Tommy Sopwith, and Roy Salvadori.[6] [edit] Mike Hawthorn The Jaguar Mark I gained a certain notoriety when on 22nd January 1959 former motor racing world champion Mike Hawthorn was killed in an accident involving his own highly-tuned 3.4-litre, VDU 881, on the Guildford bypass in Surrey (England).

Introduction Photos Technical Specs Tariff Make an Enquiry "Already 1959 is being talked of as a vintage year for new cars, and undoubtedly well up the quality list will come the new Mk II Jaguar" Autocar - 2 October June 1959 If the E type is the classic British sportscar, the Mk. II Jaguar must be well placed in the argument for honours as the classic British sports saloon. Offered in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre forms the MK II was the logical development of Sir William Lyons ground-breaking compact saloon, the 2.4 (or Mk. I as it became known). By the early 1950’s Jaguar had established an enviable reputation for spectacular sports cars with the XK120 (and the XK140 launched in 1954) and luxurious saloons in the form of the 6-seater Mk. VII. However, not everyone wanted to drive a two-seater, nor indeed a 6-seater. Most customers wanted something in between: a compact saloon with four or five seats and the same Jaguar performance, opulence and value for money. The 2.4 saloon, launched in February 1955, was designed to fill this gap and was the first Jaguar to be built with a unitary bodyshell, i.e. no separate chassis. The engine was a short-stroke version of the famous XK series used in the Mk. VII, having reduced capacity of 2483cc. Within 18 months the 2.4 was joined by the 3.4, the increased engine size resulting in a medium-sized touring car with a top speed of 120mph! The early MK I 2.4 and 3.4 models were not without their critics but they were silenced in October 1959, when the Mk. II was launched. Gone was the tapered body shape, the full rear-wheel spats and smallish windows. In their place was the most beautiful sports saloon car, which proved to be the staple product of Jaguar’s ascendancy during the 1960’s. The history of this car is of particular note, it having been first owned by one Don Parker who in his obituary in Motorsport magazine was described as "the most successful Formula 3 racing driver in history", having been F3 champion in 1952, '53 and '59. Parker won 126 F3 races altogether and in 1953 alone started in 44 and won 30. Stirling Moss may have been a rising star in 1953, but he still raced in F3 and Parker beat him more times than any other driver, despite never even having seen a motor race until he was 40! Other names of note Parker competed against in F3 are none other than Bernie Ecclestone and well known Jaguar luminary, Norman Dewis... Quite a chap, Parker, this car was specifically built for him by Jaguar upon the express instruction of Lofty England to incorporate uprated brakes, improved suspension, slightly larger carburettors and (gently) re-profiled camshafts. Although a little 'breathed on' when new, today this car is much more of sedate lady than a racy little number. However 'Nimrod' - as christened by Parker - will still get going when needed. Extremely well appointed, with disc brakes all round, the Mk II offers a very comfortable and practical touring option with performance to ensure it maintains its place favourably with modern traffic. The car of choice for professionals, Managing Directors, (not to mention the odd racing driver in the sixties!), the model is now perhaps most famous for its starring role with John Thaw in ‘Inspector Morse’ (eclipsing other memories of the model as a rough and ready gangster chariot). For any Jaguar fan this could be the perfect birthday gift idea for 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th celebrations as well as honeymoons, anniversaries and other special breaks in Cornwall and Devon. The Mk II offers a drive full of character that will charm the new driver. Opening the driver’s door will reveal the slightly faded dashboard and fascia, the wonderfully mellow upholstery and a smell that can only be from original interior.

It is bursting out of its own skin with these bulging sides, making it over six feet in width. It is nearly seventeen feet long, more than a foot longer than a Volvo V70 Estate. Although it is a full four feet six inches high, it still looks low. The first of its line, the Jaguar Mark X, was launched in 1961, the same year as the famous E-type, and the 420G designation was attached in 1967, though it continued to be called the "Mark Ten" by the general public, and 420Gs were manufactured into 1970. Nerds can distinguish the 420G from the earlier Mark X by the heavier central vertical in the radiator grille, a different hub cap design, and direction indicator repeaters on the sides. There was also a Jaguar 420 (no G), but that was a descendant of another series of sportier Jaguar saloons. The Mark X / 420G was considered to be a luxury saloon, rather than a sports saloon, though under the skin it's a huge sports car. The prestige conferred by owning a Mark Ten in its day was extremely high. It was nearly as sexy as a Ferrari of its day at half the price, or less, and infinitely more respectable, reliable and British. Yet it came from the same stable as the exciting E-type, with which it shared its rear suspension design, which was also used on the XJ6, the luxury saloon which replaced the 420G. More... Jaguar Mark X Perhaps it may be indelicate to discuss the engine of this luxury saloon. But open the bonnet (hood) and there's a lot of hardware inside there. The 420 in the title refers to Jaguar's 4.2litre straight six, twin ohc engine. Three huge SU carburettors feed the six cylinders. 265bhp, in theory (some authorities place the power somewhat lower), and, despite its weight of more than 1800kg, its 0-60 mph time was around 10 seconds, which still feels pretty nippy, especially in a big car. Of the 25000 Mark Xs and 420Gs built, about a quarter were 420Gs. You don't see many around these days. In common with nearly all cars of the sixties, they suffered from terminal rust, and many mechanically viable machines expired when their superstructures collapsed. Yet there are a few still around, like this one, a majestic car, with a hand-built appearance, which it is hard to believe was mass-produced. More...
