Second version of our beloved Jaguar MK II, and this time we bring you a true road racing competition car.

When on the 7th September, 1957, the seller of the Jaguar concessionaire delivered the first MK to Bernard Consten, nobody could imagine it would be the beginning of a long and successful sporting marriage.

The same year he raced in Tour Auto, with a slight car tuning. Therefore he fell through a embankment being forced to retire from the prestigious race.

Luckily, this would only be an isolated setback, as it is made clear in the following chart, where you can see the participations and positions of Consten and the MK II from ‘60 to ‘64.

When Consten was asked about his long affair with the Jaguar, he replied that he couldn't remain indifferent in view of such qualities, high features, reasonable price, speed, brakes, reliability, beauty or discretion; just to round off with this sentence: “If you think my opinion is exaggerated, just tell me, can you compare it to another berlina?”.
