Lot Number 70
1950 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe
Scottsdale Auction
Offered Without Reserve
ESTIMATE: $75,000 - $100,000
CHASSIS NO: 647345

• Elegant British touring car
• Well cared-for for and professionally maintained
• 1 of only 395 produced

3485-cc 3 ½ litre OHV inline six-cylinder engine with dual SU side draft carburetors, 125 HP, four-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, rear wheel drive, steel body on box section steel frame; wheelbase: 120"

Here is a great chance to own one of only 395 examples of the Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe created. The black and grey Jaguar Mark V offered here is a stunning example of one of the best-looking schemes for these cars. The exterior color scheme beautifully accentuates the deep lines on this car and highlights the stunning chrome features. Large headlights, driving lights, twin bar bumpers, side lights, mirrors and 'pram irons' on the sides of the top make this Mark V stand out. The grille of this car serves as a focal point, adorned in this model with the very popular leaping cat mascot. The interior of this car is equally well-dressed. Rich red leather blends perfectly with the wood veneer trim of the dash. Jaguar's existing standard-based six-cylinder overhead-valve engine was continued in both the 2.5 and 3.5-litre forms for the Mark V. This example comes with the 3.5-litre power plant. Driving around town with impressive wide whites guarantees that this car will turn heads at any event. Purchasing this Jaguar Mark V is sure to add some grace, space, and place to your collection. This car differed from its precursors by combining elegance with a comfortable ride by using the newly developed box-section chassis design combined with independent front suspension using a torsion bar and double wishbones. The adoption of Girling hydraulic brakes made the car far safer than its predecessors as well. This Mark V differs from earlier models, with a more raked windscreen, thinner pillars and rear spats, all of which further accentuate the stylish lines associated with 1950s Jaguars. The Motor magazine clocked the Mark V at a 0-60 time of 20.4 seconds and a top speed of a little over 90 miles per hour. This car was recently serviced and evaluated by Blue Ridge Sports Cars, Inc. of North Carolina and is an ideal club car, offering copious space for friends and family. Keep in mind, too, that not very many examples of this car are available on the market today in such pristine condition. With only 395 produced, who wouldn't want to be the proud owner of this impressive, stately car?
The Mark V Drophead Coupe is a car that makes quite an impression to this day. William Lyons' reliance on a traditional design utilizing the overhead-valve inline six-cylinder certainly played a crucial role in developing the newly introduced Jaguar brand. Elegance combines with style to make this car a hit at any concours event. With a combination of wonderful performance and plenty of passenger space, the Mark V offers an implausible driving experience that only a classic Jaguar can deliver. The Mark V Drophead Coupe is arguably the XK120 for the enthusiast with a family, and this vehicle surely will not disappoint in this regard.

1951 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe

One of only 395 imported examples for 1951
The Mark V was only in production for three years (49-51)
Well-cared for and professionally maintained
Grey-and-black exterior with Red Leather interior
3.5L inline overhead valve six-cylinder engine with dual SU side-draft carburetors
Four-speed manual transmission
Girling four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes
Fog lights
Included with some original tools

MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 1951 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe. It is simply an elegant touring car with a unique presence and three position folding top. This luxurious cat hails from Atherton California.

Finished in a distinguished black-and-grey ensemble that highlights the car's curves as well as its chrome trim, including the leaping Jaguar radiator cap mascot. The paint and trim are in very good order but with some minor blemishes upon close inspection.

The car's windows are clear and crack-free while its lights, including the fog lights, are haze-free and intact. The bodywork is straight and solid and all looks good. The engine bay is tidy and the car's twin bumpers fit well to the body. There are many original tools in the trunk. This old cat rolls on wide whitewall bias-ply tires, size 6.80-16 at all four corners.

Under the hood is a 3.5-liter OHV inline six-cylinder engine with dual SU side-draft carburetors and buttoned to a four-speed, single-helical gearbox from Jaguar and the Moss Gear Company of Birmingham, England. The car features Girling four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

Inside, the car's red luscious leather interior meshes well with the wood veneer of the instrument panel. The Vaumol Leather seats is in near-excellent order, while the Wilton wool carpet is in very good condition. The four-spoke black steering wheel is in excellent order. The inner door panels and burled walnut instrument panel are in very good order as is the gear selector.

Blue Ridge Sports Cars Inc., of North Carolina recently evaluated and serviced this example. While it might look cozy, there is more passenger space available for family and friends to ride to the next cruise night or car show. There, this car would turn a lot of heads.

A 3.5-liter car tested by The Motor magazine in 1949 had a top speed of 90.7 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 20.4 seconds. Jaguar's inimitable test engineer Norman Dewis used a Mark V regularly. When asked about the top speed he saw in his car, he commented that he verified 90 mph once, but the thrill of the moment did not encourage repeating the feat.

Drop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars and look this English Rose over for yourself. It is a unique vehicle, even among other classics.

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 69,095 miles.
