Join the team at Ragtops & Roadsters, a classic car restoration shop located outside of Philadelphia, as they revive a neglected California 1961 Mk 2 Jaguar 3.8 sedan to its former glory. The series will go behind the scenes at a fullservice restoration business to show what it really takes to return a classic vehicle from a geriatric junker to a pinnacle of perfection.
The first episode in this series explains why we even dchose a Mk 2 sedan as a restoration project in the first place. We also discuss the significance of the Mk 2 as the archetypal sport sedan, and how the racing ambitions of UKbased Jaguar dealer John Coombs further cemented its reputation among true motoring enthusiasts in the 1950s and 1960s.
