The principle change was the increase in armour thickness from 7.25 mm to 8.25 mm. The 4-cylinder petrol engine of 2,286 cc was the same as in the Mark 1 giving 77 bhp at 4,100 rpm. By 1968 the Mark 2 was available and advertised with the option of the 6-cylinder 2,625 cc engine giving 84 bhp at 4,500 rpm; this engine initially had a compression ratio of 7:1.
However a later Mark 2 brochure indicates that the 6-cylinder engine option was available but on vehicles now designated Mk 3. The power was increased to 95 bhp at 4,500 rpm as a result of modifying the engine to a compression ratio of 7.8:1. The Mark 2 production figure was about 50.
Shorland Mark 2 as it appears on the sales brochure. This image is actually reversed, although the unmodified image was used on early brochures for the Mark 3.
Below is the Mark 2 during perhaps the same promotional film shoot. Although right hand drive, the intended market was no doubt the Middle East given the sand colour paintwork and certain optional extras.
