SCHWINN MARK II JAGUAR

[RICHIE'S 64]

so i went to pick this jaguar up on sat. seems with lots of potential needs a lot of cleaning
what i like about it is the frame and paint its not to scratched this might be a 56/57 jaguar im not sure i havent had time to check the serial #
the good thing is that the fenders are in a very good shape

That Mark II is a FANTASTIC find! I'm drooling. It is a very complete, original nice bike and will clean up well! There was no 1956 Jaguar and Mark II's were '57-'58 only. Yours has a date of 9/18/57 and it is indeed a late 1957 as the seat and tank changed for 1958, as well as an almost un-noticeable change in the frame. Great score with the original tail light still on it. The paint is nice and the decals will clean up much whiter also. I love the Mark II's!

Just this one. These photos show the bike in original condition when I got it. Since then, the fenders have been re-rolled and polished, and headlamp/ tail lamp and horn have been added. The tank needs to be refinished still.

I don't see the add on guards very often that came on your bike.
