MK II rescued from the scrap yard
 
Purists might have a conniption when they get a look at all the American bits that went into saving this old Jag — but I think it's amazing. And it seems like a steal for 17k. Check out the story on this gorgeous machine here!

The only thing that I don't like about it, is the colour of the red vinyl, it makes me think of red liquorice.
I would have preferred an ivory interior.
Red on red is just a bit too much.

This is the most tempting car I've seen on BaT in so long... Just gorgeous...

Maybe you should consider it as it is not that expensive to reskin the seats to the color you want? Those V6 engines are very reliable and have a lot of options for upgrades....

Very nicely done. Engine looks like it fits better than the original

You have done a great job, it is a nice car

It's another one saved. The owner can do what they like. I really like that exterior color. It looks good on that car.

This car is legendary. Toyota Mark II is one of my favorite Japanese cars, after Nissan Fairlady. I also had one of these, it was in a bad condition because it is an old car, but I thought that I will be able to restore it. It was very hard to find the necessary details of the bodywork, and usually when I was finding something I needed it was very expensive. This is why I started to doubt if it is worth it, so I decided to sell it for scrap, at least to cover some of the expenses I had because I knew that none would buy this car from me and it was the best solution.
