The Jaguar Mark V debuted in 1948 at the London Motor Show and it retained a stylistic link to the beloved pre-war SS cars with its classic William Lyons curves but it was otherwise nearly all new. Few people had the chance to own the dropheads because only 1 005 were built. The Mark V would be in production for three years offered as both a four-door saloon and two-door drophead coupe. The drophead coupe was already considerably scarcer in numbers and it was clearly a car for the performance enthusiast as almost all 977 of 1 005 were built with the larger more powerful 3 -liter engine. One could say that the drophead coupe was the XK120 for the sportsman who had a family. This is a wonderful example of the most desirable Mark V Jaguar. When it comes to traditional British motoring no car better combines style and comfort than the Jaguar Mark V.
