Selling my 1952 Jaguar Mark VIII with 28,580 original miles. This Jaguar is in impeccable condition. If you are a collector or just want something rare to drive on occasion this is it! Not many left like this one on the world. This is a exquisite automobile and will satisfy just about anybody. I can't do a no reserve on this vehicle but will offer a reasonable reserve. I have a lot of money into this car and it will only be sold to someone who appreciates the car and it's value. I welcome inspections anytime based around work schedule and availability of course. The car has no rust and no issues. Down to the smallest detail. Mechanically its a 10 - Exterior is a 10 - Interior is a 10. There is also of course not a spot of rust anywhere. That means no rust anywhere. This vehicle will include documentation and appraisal certificate for $47,895. My reserve is a fraction of that price and it has gone up in value since. This means everything functions as it should and it is super clean in and out as you can see by the photos. Info from Jaguar below. The Jaguar Mark VII was a large four door sports sedan launched by Jaguar Cars of Coventry at the 1950 London Motor Show. The Mk VII chassis came from the Jaguar Mark V with which the Mark VII shared its 10 feet (3,048.0 mm) wheelbase. But for this latest offering Jaguar designed a modern and streamlined looking body, featuring fully integrated headlights and mudguards along with an increased rear overhang which gave the car enhanced presence. As on the Mark V, the upper part of the rear wheels was covered by the body work. In place of its predecessors flat windscreen, the Mark VII design included a two piece front screen, adumbrating the gently curved one piece screen that would become available with the Jaguar Mark VIII. The predecessor model had been powered by an engine of prewar design, originally developed by the Standard Motor Company. The Mark VII featured the remarkable newly developed XK engine first seen in in production form in the 1949 Jaguar XK. The 3442 cc straight six engine provided the same 160 bhp (119.3 kW) power output in this application as in the Mark VIIs sports car contemporary. Despite its size, a top speed in excess of 100 mph (160 km/h) was claimed for the Mark VII. The Jaguar Mark VIIs arrival coincided with some relaxation of the desperate economic situation that pervaded Britain after the war. Already in 1951 the enthusiastic reception of the Mark VII in the UK and US markets was given by the company as the reason for their relocation to larger premises, in a plant built for wartime production as a so called shadow factory and now available for immediate use. By the time of the Mark VIIs 1954 upgrade, 20,908 had been produced. A car tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1952 had a top speed of 101 mph (163 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 13.7 seconds. I will accept a $1000 deposit at the end of auction via PayPal. Balance to be paid within 3-5 business days through cashiers check, bank wire or cash in person OR I will accept 50% of full payment via PayPal and the balance of funds once the vehicle arrives to the new buyer but the car won't be released by the transport company until the balance is either paid via PayPal or wired into my account. Just a measure of trust but I think it's a very fair proposal. I will include shipping anywhere in the world if my reserve is met. The vehicle will not ship until the funds are clear. If you have "0" feedback please email prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid without notice. I will end the auction from a serious buyer with a serious offer. Pleas ask ALL questions prior to bidding. Best of luck!
