The roots of the luxuriously equipped and potent MKIX Jaguar lay in the MKVII that had been launched at the 1950 London Motorshow. The MKVIII of 1956 brought added opulence to the interior and a few detail changes to the outward appearance (most noticeably the move to a curved single-piece windscreen), while the MKIX delivered a 3.8-litre 220bhp version of Jaguar's all-conquering DOHC XK engine, servo-assisted disc brakes all-round and recirculating ball steering. The sale car is a lustrous all-Black example trimmed in Red leather and is in original, unrestored condition throughout. The vendor informs us that it was supplied new to The London Car Mart and has 'been maintained superbly ever since'. He grades the 3.8-litre XK engine as 'very good', the bodywork, paintwork and automatic transmission as 'good', the interior trim as 'original/worn' and says there are currently no known faults. The recorded mileage is (an unwarranted) 58,800.
