Dream along for a moment... You walk into a smoky bar in the 1960s, play Chuck Berry on the jukebox, and ask a group of gangsters about their wildest dreams. You hear the stories: daring heists, nerve-wracking escapes... But one thing keeps coming up, the Jaguar MK2. The undisputed queen of getaway cars. You imagine how you would escape the clutches of the law, with your precious loot hidden in the trunk. Flying through the streets, the powerful engine roaring like a symphony of freedom. Away from that bar. Suddenly, you're light-years ahead. It's 2023. In front of you stands an MK2, but it looks different? A new bumper, Torino wheels, cool louvers... Beautiful leather, black wooden dashboard, electric sunroof control. Modern yet classical??? As you gaze at the streamlined body, the line between dream and reality blurs. It's really there, in the flesh!
This Jaguar MK2 is one of a kind. Here's why: it's a fully modernized and refurbished Mk2. And it's not just any modification. This car has been extensively rebuilt by specialists, down to the smallest details, following the design concept of Ian Callum. You might think at first glance that this classic beauty doesn't need any further embellishment. Yet, none other than the renowned design director of Jaguar, Ian Callum, believed that there was room for improvement. Callum, known for his designs such as the Aston Martin DB7, Vanquish, DB9, and various Jaguars, had dreamt of modernizing the Mk2 since he was 15. And this unique Callum design has now been perfectly recreated.
When the Mark 2 hit the market in 1959, it was considered the first true "sports saloon." Now, half a century later, you can still see that same MK2 in this car. But faster, more forgiving, with power steering and power brakes. It still has a genuine 6-cylinder engine, but lighter and completely overhauled. Everything feels tailored, adapted, but in a sympathetic way. Take, for example, the dashboard: still the same architecture, but now crafted from beautiful thick dark oak. A new automatic transmission, electrically adjustable seats with seat heating, and a modern multimedia system. Even the underbody and rear axle of the car have been fully restored and finished with anti-stone chip protection and new paint. Everything that moves, seals, or allows fluids to pass through has been renewed. The list of professional modifications seems endless.
All of this results in a car like you've never seen before. It truly feels and drives phenomenal. A perfectly synchronized entity. The embodiment of speed, elegance, and daring. While the '60s may be behind us, the spirit of adventure and freedom lives on in this modern interpretation of the legendary MK2.
Can you envision yourself driving a car that embraces the past and reaches into the future? This MK2 is ready to help you escape the monotony of everyday life and surpass the limits of imagination. In this new reality, your wildest dreams come true. This Jaguar MK2, inspired by Ian Callum, is the key to freedom and adventure. Wherever you want to race to.
