1951 Mk V - Barons Sandown Pk Tuesday 26th February 2019 For Sale by Auction

The Jaguar Mark V was built by Jaguar from 1948 to 1951. It was available as a four door Saloon and a two-door convertible known as the Drop Head Coupé, both versions seating five adults. It was the first Jaguar with independent front suspension, and the first with hydraulic brakes, the first with spats, the first specifically designed to be produced in both Right and Left Hand Drive configurations, the first with disc centre wheels, the first to be offered with sealed headlamps and flashing turn signals for the important American market, and the last model to use the pushrod engines.

The Mark V was introduced to distributors and the press on 30 September 1948 and launched on 27 October 1948 at the London Motor Show, at the same time as the announcement of the XK120, with which it shared a stand. Three cars were built in late 1948 and saloon production was well under way at the factory by March 1949, though the DHC was delayed for some months, and the last cars were built in mid 1951.

This truly delightful Jaguar was dispatched new to Dominion Motors, Adelaide, Australia on January 24, 1951 and not repatriated until 2001, so was therefore spared many years of wet, salted British roads. Though treated to a respray and degree of restoration a few years ago, its Antipodean history undoubtedly has much to do with its generally excellent condition. Since acquiring the car two years ago, the vendor has: fitted new carpets, plus door and window rubbers throughout; had the instruments refurbished; the cylinder head and twin SU carburettors overhauled; and the brakes stripped and serviced. Earlier work had included the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust system, rechroming of the bumpers, lining of the fuel tank, rewiring and Polybushing of the steering system. There is a substantial file of Service History and Repair Invoices, and also the vast majority of the original tool kit is present.

The car is finished in two-tone Silver and trimmed in Beige leather. Its impressive specification includes the desirable 3. 5-litre straight-six engine option, sunroof and tinted windows, and the vendor feels the indicated mileage of 55, 535 is commensurate with the age and condition of the car. He has limited its use to fine weather and says the sunroof is 'wonderful on sunny days out'. A lovely example of one of Britain's finest early post-war Saloons.
