Default New from France

Hello all,

My name is Marc, I'm from France, I'm the happy owner of a Jaguar mk2 3.8L from 1962. I'm doing a full restoration of the car.

I'm also trying to find the full history of this car. I know all the french owner but this car had a life before in the USA. The Jaguar certificate doesn't tell first owner nor the dealer. So I'm trying to find something going back to the past. I know that the car was exported from California to France in 1991. I show you a photo of the car, maybe someone will recognize the car or the place where the photo has been taken.




Thank you very much
Marc

Welcome Marc! Your Jaguar MK2 sounds like an amazing project. Hopefully, someone here recognizes the car or has information on its past. Best of luck with your restoration and history search!
