The Appeal
The 1/12 Litre, retrospectively referred to as the MkIV, was among the very first cars to bear the Jaguar name alone, produced as the company transitioned from SS Cars (for obvious reasons) in the immediate post-war period. Built in July 1946, this is an early example from a pivotal moment in the marque's history, and one that now approaches its 80th birthday.
The current owner, the sixth custodian, has invested in the car's reliability over four years, with thorough cleaning of both the fuel and cooling systems. Originally finished in lavender grey, it was repainted white and silver by a previous owner. A selection of spare parts accompanies the sale, including a fully rebuilt steering column and box, offering the next keeper useful provisions for continued enjoyment.image.png2.09 MB
