Jaguar Mk1 and Mk II Saloons

By: B11289B .

Jaguar's small saloon car was introduced in 1955 to complement the company's successful sports cars and luxury saloons; it was the marque's first monocoque-bodied production car. The MkII was launched four years later, at which time the first cars became known retrospectively as 'MkI'. The MkII 3.8 was one of the fastest production cars of its time, making it a favourite on the race track as well as on the roads. The cars were all finished to a high standard of luxury in wood and leather. This quintessentially British car was also popular elsewhere in the world, especially in the US.
