For any questions please call 501-276-6229. Thanks for watching! The following information will enhance your knowledge about the history of this "timeless" and exotic classic. After the war, Jaguar, like other motor manufactures endeavoured to produce and market exciting new models. Development work on a new flagship saloon to replace the prewar design had been started even before the end of hostilities. Thus it was that the new chassis developed for the Mark VII – IX range first appeared in the Mark V. The Mark V, while it looked very similar to the pre-war design, was a stopgap model, intended to tread water until the introduction of its first truly postwar offering, the Mark VII in 1950, with its promise of both modern styling and the marvelous new XK engine.The XK engine was first fitted to the iconic XK120 roadster, which was initially intended as a "concept car" of the day. Racing success launched the type commercially and its engine went on to power all Jaguar sports and saloon cars until the advent of the 12-cylinder motor in the late E-types and lasted on for 40 years, well into the popular XJ range of cars.Logically the Mark VII should have been called the Mark VI, but legend has it that, as Bentley was already using that designation, Jaguar Chairman Sir William Lyons reckoned he could upstage them with a "newer" Mark (!). The car featured styling that was evolutionary from the previous MK V, but was also evocative of the swooping curves of the XK120. It was also a much bigger car than the Mark V - 9 inches longer and 4 inches wider. The series began a steady progression throughout the coming decade, reaching its pinnacle in 1958 with the launch of the emblematic Mark IX.The Mark IX was publicly unveiled at the Earls Court London Motor Show in the autumn of 1958. Visually it was nearly identical to its predecessor the Mark VIII. Mechanically however, much was updated. Under the hood the engine capacity was increased to 3.8 liters by the adoption of the latest version of the XK engine, now rated at an impressive 220bhp. (This was achieved by increasing the stroke from 83mm to 87mm and using a slightly taller block.) The existing "B" type cylinder head was retained as fitted to the 3.4 motor of its predecessor. The 3.8 powerplant was subsequently fitted to the XK150 sports car the following year, in both standard and uprated "S" states of tune.The Mark IX braking system was upgraded to a Dunlop four-wheel disc system, and power steering was made available as a standard fitment. By this time most were delivered with the robust Borg Warner 3-speed automatic transmission. Nothing much changed inside the car, as the MK VIII was already superbly equipped and appointed. The major improvement was the uprating of the heater system which had been previously criticized as inadequate for colder climes.As with the Mark VIII the majority of Mark IXs were sold with a dual color scheme, the darker color usually on top. Curiously, the contemporary version of the Mark VIII (known as the Mark VIIIB) remained in production for some time, available concurrently alongside the now more refined and expensive Mark IX.Although they were large and heavy, the big Mark Jaguars proved surprisingly successful in racing and rallying. No less a personage than Stirling Moss won contemporary saloon races in a Mark VII and can often be seen driving one in vintage competition today. Mark VIIs also excelled in the daunting Monte Carlo Rally, finishing fourth and sixth in 1952, second in 1953, and finally winning in 1956.The big Marks were important cars for Jaguar, epitomizing Jaguar's motto of "Grace, Space and Pace." With luxury appointments rivaling Rolls and Bentley, but with more spirited performance at a lower price, they presented a compelling package for contemporary executives and even diplomats.

Mark IX production finally ended in September 1961, after some 5982 RHD and 4021 LHD cars were produced.Photo GalleryAdditional InformationWarrantyThis vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied.

This superb Jaguar Mark IX is certainly among the very best examples on the planet, of an unmolested and unrestored survivor. As you can see by the pictures, this is a beautiful and very straight highly optioned Mk IX. This car came with a factory sliding roof, radio, twin tanks and high output heater plus as an added bonus this was the first year for the upgraded big disc brakes on all four corners. Also this car sports generator power steering and a large core radiator. This example has virtually no rust other than normal Mk IX flaws. As you can see from the pictures, it has correct Wilton Wools. All of the burl wood is in spectacular condition for never have been stripped and refinished. We bought this car out of sheer amazement of the quality of the upkeep for over 40 years. Instead of molesting the car and trying to restore it, we have left it as we bought it with the beautiful timeless aging. The only attention we gave this timeless driver was a minor tune and a little bit of clean up. Other than that I have been driving the car every other day. It runs like a top!

Because of the unbelievable upkeep over the years, this car will make it's new owner extremely proud and will be very low maintenance due to the fact it was pampered for years.

For any questions please call 501-276-6229. Thanks for watching!

The following information will enhance your knowledge about the history of this "timeless" and exotic classic.

After the war, Jaguar, like other motor manufactures
endeavoured to produce and market exciting new
models. Development work on a new flagship saloon
to replace the prewar design had been started even
before the end of hostilities. Thus it was that the new
chassis developed for the Mark VII – IX range first
appeared in the Mark V. The Mark V, while it looked
very similar to the pre-war design, was a stopgap
model, intended to tread water until the introduction
of its first truly postwar offering, the Mark VII in 1950,
with its promise of both modern styling and the
marvelous new XK engine.

The XK engine was first fitted to the iconic XK120
roadster, which was initially intended as a "concept
car" of the day. Racing success launched the type
commercially and its engine went on to power all
Jaguar sports and saloon cars until the advent of the
12-cylinder motor in the late E-types and lasted on
for 40 years, well into the popular XJ range of cars.
Logically the Mark VII should have been called the
Mark VI, but legend has it that, as Bentley was already
using that designation, Jaguar Chairman Sir William
Lyons reckoned he could upstage them with a "newer"
Mark (!). The car featured styling that was evolutionary
from the previous MK V, but was also evocative of the
swooping curves of the XK120. It was also a much
bigger car than the Mark V - 9 inches longer and 4
inches wider. The series began a steady progression
throughout the coming decade, reaching its pinnacle
in 1958 with the launch of the emblematic Mark IX.

The Mark IX was publicly unveiled at the Earls Court
London Motor Show in the autumn of 1958. Visually it
was nearly identical to its predecessor the Mark VIII.
Mechanically however, much was updated. Under the
hood the engine capacity was increased to 3.8 liters
by the adoption of the latest version of the XK engine,
now rated at an impressive 220bhp. (This was
achieved by increasing the stroke from 83mm to
87mm and using a slightly taller block.) The existing
"B" type cylinder head was retained as fitted to the 3.4
motor of its predecessor. The 3.8 powerplant was
subsequently fitted to the XK150 sports car the
following year, in both standard and uprated "S" states
of tune.

The Mark IX braking system was upgraded to a Dunlop
four-wheel disc system, and power steering was made
available as a standard fitment. By this time most were
delivered with the robust Borg Warner 3-speed
automatic transmission. Nothing much changed inside
the car, as the MK VIII was already superbly equipped
and appointed. The major improvement was the
uprating of the heater system which had been
previously criticized as inadequate for colder climes.

As with the Mark VIII the majority of Mark IXs were
sold with a dual color scheme, the darker color usually
on top. Curiously, the contemporary version of the
Mark VIII (known as the Mark VIIIB) remained in
production for some time, available concurrently
alongside the now more refined and expensive Mark
IX.

Although they were large and heavy, the big Mark
Jaguars proved surprisingly successful in racing and
rallying. No less a personage than Stirling Moss won
contemporary saloon races in a Mark VII and can often
be seen driving one in vintage competition today.
Mark VIIs also excelled in the daunting Monte Carlo
Rally, finishing fourth and sixth in 1952, second in
1953, and finally winning in 1956.

The big Marks were important cars for Jaguar,
epitomizing Jaguar's motto of "Grace, Space and Pace."
With luxury appointments rivaling Rolls and Bentley,
but with more spirited performance at a lower price,
they presented a compelling package for
contemporary executives and even diplomats. These
fabulous cars were integral in the establishment of
Jaguar as a premier producer of the high-performance
luxury sedans for which they are still famous today.

This series of elegant luxury performance saloons was
built by Jaguar Cars, Ltd. at Browns Lane, Allesley,
Coventry CV5 9DR. Mark IX production finally ended in
September 1961, after some 5982 RHD and 4021 LHD
cars were produced.
