1948 Jaguar Mark IV 3½-Litre Drophead Coupe
To be auctioned on Saturday, March 14, 2015
Without Reserve
$100,000 - $125,000

Chassis no. 637237
Engine no. SL 3129
Body no. C 1291
This left-hand-drive, U.S.-delivery Jaguar Mark IV Drophead Coupe was originally delivered to International Motors, of Los Angeles, California, on June 25, 1948, as is documented by its Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate. The JDHT notes that the present engine and body numbers both match the originals from the factory, and it also confirms that this car was originally sold with the most desirable and powerful 3½-liter engine.

The car received a concours-quality restoration, which was completed in 2000, and during this time, it was finished in the visually stunning color combination of burgundy and black, which was accented by a black three-position top with landau irons, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires, and brilliant interior woodwork. Desirable period features on the car include "flip up" trafficator-style turn signals and rare Lucas road lamps, as well as a full and proper tool set, which was mounted in the proper location within the trunk lid.

The present owner notes that he drove the car to the Austin, Texas, regional Jaguar Club of North America Concours, where it received 99.91 points; amusingly, most of the deducts were for cleanliness, as the car had just been driven 50 miles! The owner has gone through the car to sort out any minor defects, and today, it presents as a very nice older restoration and excellent driver, one that the owner feels would do very well at regional meets. This Jaguar is documented by copies of its JCNA Concours judging sheets, as well as a copy of the aforementioned JDHT Certificate.

This CCCA Full Classic Jaguar, offered today with very little road use but consistent good care since its excellent restoration, is a lovely example for a sportsman's collection.

Just 376 3.5-liter Mark IVs were built for export, including this meticulously restored left-hand-drive version delivered new to Max Hoffman's International Motors of Los Angeles on June 25, 1948. Its mechanical specification was simple but effective: a 3.5L/125 HP inline-4 engine mated to a floor-shifted Moss 4-speed gearbox, a 120-inch wheelbase chassis employing solid front and live rear axles with semi-electric front and rear leaf springs, and Girling 4-wheel mechanical drum brakes. During a concours-grade restoration completed in 2000, the car was finished in stunning burgundy and black lacquer complemented with a black 3-position landau top with red piping, beautifully refinished interior wood work and red leather upholstery. Other desirable features include "trafficator" turn signals, rare Lucas P100 road lamps, wide whitewall tires on chromed wire wheels and a full tool kit correctly mounted inside the trunk lid. Impressively, the car scored 99.91 of 100 at a regional Jaguar Club of North America Concours in Austin, Texas. Driven just 1,050 miles since the restoration, this rare Jaguar Mark IV is offered with a Jaguar Instruction Book, Jaguar Club of North America Concours judging sheets and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate confirming its factory-original matching-numbers engine and body.
