1950 Jaguar MKV - AT5745U

[@kenmayfield3739]

What a beautiful machine and what a treat to see it without a mascot screwed to the radiator cap. As a lifelong Jaguar owner, I’ve obviously nothing at all against the famous ‘leaper ’, but some models are clearly better without it, after all , the Mk. 1V, Mk.V and the wonderful XK series of sports cars were not fitted with it as standard - and William Lyons knew exactly what he was doing!

[@brucejackson4219]

Yes: the car oozes class & refinement.

[@bruceburns1672]

Britain certainly were a nation once of capable auto manufacturers and craftsmen, all hand crafted.

[@streetcat1510]

0.23 secs he calls it a Jagwire, the correct pronunciation is Jag-u-ar.

3.5 litre six cylinder, my father had a MkV Convertible!

I agree with Bob Marshall, "All the dumb comments show that Americans know nothing about classic English cars!"

[@dieselfan7406]

Trouble is, they do. Classic English car business in the US is at a premium, as it has been for many years. It's a shame so many beauties end up over there (look at Pebble Beach Concours) but at least money is being spent to keep these classics on the road.

I think Jaguar MK V had engines made by the Standard motor co. The magnificent Jaguar XK engine was fitted to the XK 120 an open top 2 seater sports car and I think from the Mk V11.

[@denissutherland3653]

Beautifully and faithfully restored it would appear not made into a hybrid of the old and the new which ruins both stances. You can lock the trunk lid too.

The Jaguar Mark V is not the type of car you would see parked in the rough part of town. But that's where I lived, With my 10 year old aufon car, Origenal paint job, War-Ship gray with a little dull red under coat showing through in places, No longer a starterling gray gloss. But a flat war ship gray. It was a couler you could accept and respect, In the dark and the rain it could be mistaken for a new Bentley, The car came with a shofers hat, Which I wore when I drove the car, Ever One was polite to me and traffic police waved me through. It was a win win. Yes this was back in the day, In Old U.K.

[@avant-gardener]

So that was the inspiration for X351 dashboard. is that a sibling to Bentley Mark VI Saloon?

Doesn't know that all Jags at that time were 6 cyl.......THE FAMOUS JAG 6

[@garypeatling7927]

Notice pipe laying across exhaust manifold

[@Meton12765]

LOL. What cars don't like, is standing still. They're devices built to move. You're doing more damage to them than snow and moisture.

[@garypeatling7927]

Back doors open all way easy to get in and out

[@johnholmes912]

why is that americans are unable to pronounce jaguar ?? it's a straight six

[@jkoysza1]

When it is a well-preserved LHD, it is a Jag-warr. When it is a ratty old RHD it is properly a Jag-yew-arr.
