1949 Jaguar Mark V Drop Head Coupe

Auto Storica is pleased to announce the sale of this Jaguar Mark V 3½ DHC

Just three years of production were enough for the Mark V to become one of the Coventry firm's iconic models

Getting behind the wheel of the Mark V meant climbing to the top of the market, that of luxury saloons, where the Jaguar competed with models of the stature of the Bentley Mark VI, from which it stole a good number of sales thanks to its sportier feel.

It was offered in two body types: an elegant four-door saloon, or the spectacular two-door convertible called the Drop Head Coupe

Our unit is fully restored, down to the last detail, and the beautiful black color of the body makes the chrome details that adorn it stand out even more

The striking red color of its interior is the icing on the cake. It offers a comfort worthy of a model of this caliber, and will allow you to delight in the quality of the leather and wood, as well as the correct functioning of all its controls

Its power, of 125 hp, will not make it the fastest, but you will enjoy as much as anyone at the wheel of this very special unit, one of only 577 that were manufactured with this mechanics and with the steering wheel on the left
