The Jaguar Mark V Drop Head Coupe is timeless classic conjuring up memories of simpler affluent times. This is a rare model produced by Jaguar from 1948-1951. Only 10,466 vehicles were produced with only 977 being the drop-head coupe model. Very few remain today. Although produced in 1950, the style design pre-dates WWII. The styling follows the pre-war SS-Jaguar lines with upright chrome grille and leaping Jaguar radiator cap. The headlights faired into the fenders, modern push button door handles and half frame doors distinguished it from its predecessors and give it a contemporary flare. The 3.5 liter overhead valve pushrod straight 6 produces 12.6 bhp and a top speed of 97 mph with 0-50 mph in 10 seconds. It was designed to maintain 80 mph for the new highway system of the 1950s. The chassis had a new design with independent front suspension by double wishbones and torsion bar. It was the first Jaguar with hydraulic brakes and it possessed an all pressed steel body. All original restoration with matching serial numbers, engine block replaced with original kept and included with sale. Original tool kit. Second owner, restored by father to good condition and excellent mechanical, easily upgradable to concours condition. |
