Not surprising but the Mk.II replaced the Mk.I

 

Launched in 1960 as a replacement for the simular looking Mk.1, and adhering to Sir William Lyons maxim of 'Pace, Grace and Space'.

 

The car was re-engineered above the waistline with a wider rear screen, larger wind screen and bigger side windows, with more slender pillars. The radiator grille was amended and larger side, tail and fog lamps repositioned.

 

The front suspension geometry was rearranged to raise the roll centre and the rear track widened. Four-wheel disc brakes were now standard. Power steering, overdrive or automatic transmissions could be fitted at extra cost.

 

The Mark 2 is also well known as the car driven by fictional TV detective Inspector Morse played by John Thaw; Morse's car was the version with 2.4 litre engine, steel wheels and Everflex vinyl roo, registered 248 RPA .

 

Whereas in his younger days as a Detective Constable in Endevour, Endevour Morse is seen driving and being a passenger in Inspector Thursdays Mark 1 Jaguar 3.8 litre, UFF 325, as driving a 2.4 litre Mark 1 KAN 169
