Postwar, with Jaguar working on an entirely new luxury saloon, in the interim they needed a new model to maintain sales and capture new markets. This car was the Mark V, available as both a four-door saloon and a two-door drop head coupe. Using a new Jaguar designed chassis with independent front suspension, with the existing pushrod 6-cylinder engines (now actually produced in-house), the sculptured body was styled like the prewar cars but with flowing wings, flared in headlights and a better standard of trim - the car that was used to launch that famous Jaguar slogan - Grace…Space…and Pace. Announced in 1948 these cars stayed in production until 1950.
