Prepared to the classic racing standards of the Carrera Pan Americana for the 1992 running of the race, this Mark 2 is in rather rough condition, but its unique history makes it worth the effort. Jaguar's current design boss--himself a vintage racer--has built his own racing Mk 2, after all. That's a strong vote for the car's desirability.

It's also packing a reasonable amount of race-grade equipment, including a 3.8-liter dry sump engine, body modifications for stiffening, Perspex windows, a larger fuel tank, Koni suspension, and more. The car also comes with a heritage certificate confirming the car's original number plate and provenance.
When completed, the restored car would be a great start for another run at the iconic race, which traces a roughly 2,000-mile route through Mexico in homage to the classic open road race of the same name, run from 1950-1954.
This one-of-a-kind Jaguar Mark 2 is now sitting on eBay UK with a starting bid of just £4,000.00 and six days left on the clock.
