Auctino description:
Jaguar MKV Saloon
Exceptional Motor Cars, Christies (5th June 2005)
Overview
Fastidiously restored by the previous custodian, the condition throughout is described as extremely good, in fact the only minor complaint noted was that the tool kit was incomplete. The exterior is painted in the typically-period choice of light gray and the interior is trimmed in brown leather throughout and both aspects are reported to be without fault. So rarely restored, MkVs are seldom found in this condition and the example we offer here is certainly one of the best to be found

This Jaguar Mk V was manufactured on November 7, 1949, and dispatched later that month to La Jolla Motor Imports Co. in California. It underwent refurbishment work under prior ownership and was purchased by the seller around nine years ago. Refinished in gray over a refreshed brown leather interior, the car is powered by a 3.5-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission. It has been outfitted with electric power steering, GAZ adjustable front shocks, an alternator, a stainless-steel exhaust system, a badge bar, and a Moto-Lita steering wheel. This Mk V 3.5L is now offered with spare and removed parts, service records, a tool kit, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and transferable New York registration.
Launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Mark V was the first Jaguar designed for production in both right- and left-hand-drive configurations. This example left the factory in Dove Grey and was refinished at some point under previous ownership. The headlights, driving lamps, and front indicator lenses have been replaced, the last of which with XK120-specification units, and a third brake light has been added along with a badge bar, air horns, and magnetic flag holders. The seller notes that the sunroof needs to be propped when closed and that there are dents on the right roof rail and rear bumper.
Body-color steel wheels wear matching hubcaps, and a spare wheel is stored below the trunk compartment. The car has been fitted with electric power steering and GAZ adjustable shocks up front. Braking is handled by hydraulic drums all around.
The cabin was refreshed under previous ownership and houses front bucket seats trimmed in brown leather that extends to the door panels and rear bench. Coco-style mats over color-coordinated carpeting line the floors, and burl wood veneer accents the dashboard, door caps, and window pillars. Lap belts with Jaguar logos have been added for the front occupants, and additional appointments include dual gloveboxes, a dash-mounted mirror, a pull-out storage tray, and a fold-down rear armrest.
The four-spoke Moto-Lita steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column and has a wood rim along with a Jaguar horn button. The Smiths 120-mph speedometer and 5k-rpm reverse-sweep tachometer were rebuilt in 2018, and a voltmeter was installed in lieu of the factory ammeter, the latter of which is included in the sale. The five-digit odometer shows 20k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.
A tool compartment is built into the trunk lid, and a set of tools will accompany the car.
The 3,485cc inline-six features a seven-main-bearing crankshaft, pushrod-operated overhead valves, and twin SU carburetors. Output was rated at 125 horsepower when new. An alternator was recently installed in place of the factory generator, and an electric cooling fan, a coolant overflow reservoir, and a spin-on oil filter were also added. The seller notes an oil leak.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. A heat-insulating wrap has been applied to the stainless-steel exhaust system. The seller notes corrosion on some underside components.
The Production Record Trace Certificate from the Jaguar Heritage Trust lists the original colors and drivetrain numbers for chassis 627490 as well as the build and dispatch dates.
A number of spare and removed components will accompany the car.
The car is being sold on its New York registration, which serves as an ownership document in New York.
