Jaguar MkV DHC Open Opalescent Silver

Details

The Jaguar Mark V with its sweeping lines was produced by Jaguar Cars between 1948 and 1951. In real life the executive car came as a saloon or a drophead coupé and for its launch, we have chosen the latter. During it three year lifetime, just under 10,500 were made and it was succeeded by the Mk VII. With a 4-speed manual gearbox, the Mk V had a top speed of 90.7 mph and with fuel consumption of just over 18 miles per gallon, it was a thirsty car! In its day, you could buy one of these executive motors for £1,263 on the road. These days, you would have to pay upwards of £50,000 to get behind the wheel!

For its model debut, we’ve chosen a sparkling silver colour scheme with contrasting pale grey seating and a black roof/hood, which is folded down. With the interior exposed, the intricately detailed dashboard dials are a particular feature on this model. Registered BVV 947, other refinements include silver and black running boards, chrome bumpers and silver wheels.
